Church,
Click the link below to check out a song that God has used to convict me of a great many things. It's by Hillsong United and it's called With Everything. Notice, in particular, how these people seem to worship. If I had to describe it I would say they seem to worship with a great sense of unrestrained joy. Here's the link:

Hopefully it inspires, convicts, sharpens and challenges.
Awesome! With everything "I" will shout forth Your praise!!!!!

I have shared with Chad my thoughts on this song, so I thought I'd share on here as well. When I heard this song and read the lyrics it blew me away. It gave me chills actually. As Chad mentioned that we watch the people singing, it was a sight to see. Often times at least for myself the times I want to really engage into worship I hold back wondering what others will think if I choose to lift my hands, get on my knees, smile with great joy..etc. But when I do look around and see others doing this, what an encouragement it is. There is just something so powerful when you see other people really embracing God's presence. I think that we are definitely missing out on what God wants to say to us when we care about what others may think. Watching this song and seeing not just the band but the worshipers in the audience just truly giving all they have not a care in the world of what is going on around them, what an encouragement and a challenge to all of us as a body. What a blessing and a joy it is for us to come together once and sometimes twice a week to worship our Great God, if we don't give all that we have and all that we are, we are truly missing out on something amazing!
