I've been ever mindful of why would God call me for a solemn and sacred privilege to become a worship leader or a member of a worship team. After all, I've spent much of my adult life performing in night clubs, concert venues, schools, etc. It was all about my performance. In other words it was all about me. Absent were the dancing lights, fog makers and stage gimmicks designed to enhance what really makes for a theatrical experience, in an exchange for the simple and transparent act of worship. It was no longer a performance but a heartfelt moment under direction of the Holy Spirit to guide listeners into that place of worship within their hearts. After awhile, It is easy to get caught up into where it gets to be just an exercise. That's what happened with Matt Redman who wrote this song. I also needed to get back to "the heart of worship".
