All of our discussions of the style and mechanics of worship must be anchored in a deeply biblical and richly gospel-centered understanding of what worship is. We might be tempted at a worship conference to focus exclusively on the style and mechanics of worship. And these are important! But a larger challenge is to link how we approach the week-in, week-out task of planning and leading worship with our theological understanding of worship. Do our planning and leading habits, mechanics, and techniques enable people to experience worship in the deepest, most profound, most Christ-centered way? Does our work form our congregations in a deeply biblical faith? We need a high-octane theology of worship - and one that is not simply articulated in writing, but enacted in our worship and lived out in our lives (John Witvliet).

When sorrow comes upon you and you feel you can't go on, Remember there's a Savior up yonder, waiting for us to come on home. He hath prepared the way, through the cross upon Calvary's hill. He'll wipe away all teardrops, when we heed His blessed will.
 
He wipes away all teardrops from His children's eyes, with His love. He is readying our mansions, where we'll live when we're lifted above. When we sin and ask Him to forgive, then we're like new again. He wipes away every teardrop from each woman, child, or man.
 
Can't you feel His love beating inside your heart, most every day? I can feel His love rushing into my heart, as I, softly, to Him Pray. Someday, He'll carry us under His wing, to the wondrous shore, over there, And upon our heads, as He takes us home, maybe a halo we'll wear.
 
We'll see all loved ones who have journeyed on before us, up there. And, I can think about the love of my Savior and pray in awesome prayer To a Savior who's waiting for that day when, in glory, there we'll be, above; In mansions built not with hands, but with the Holiness of His love.
 
He'll wipe away all teardrops from our eyes; no more pain or sorrow Will ever be again, as He brings us into Heavens' sweet tomorrow. Help us to be worthy, Oh, Lord. Help all to accept Thine own Son, That Satan's work will vanish, as you take us up to the great beyond.

I have looked away from You Lord
again
Lord let me look upon You
again
I have walked away from You
again
Lord let me walk with You
again
I have not read Your Word
again
Lord give me a hunger for Your Word
again
I have lost my faith in You again
again
Lord give me faith to trust You
again
I have disappointed You Lord
again
Lord strengthen me so I will not disappoint You
again
Free me Lord from this circle, grant me the victory found within You, in the power of Jesus Christ's blood.
for always..
Amen
