Born to Worship
Gary George - 11/11/2009
There are somethings in this world that we think we are meant to do. When we grow up people say, "What do you want to do when you grow up?" Some how this is attributed to work or some other thing that we enjoy doing. I still remember when I worked as a restaurant maintenance guy that I told a friend who was a Christian. "I was born to do this." He said, "no you weren't," but he never elaborated other than just telling me I was born for something greater. I still get tears, all the time, and even more so when I drive home after a night of Bible school, realizing the depth of God's love and how amazing He is. Its not just that God speaks, "You shall love me with everything," (My paraphrase) its that I do. I was born to love Him, I was born to walk with Him everyday. Yes, I am, I was born to worship.

Lyrics

I was born to worship You
I was born to worship You oh God
I love everything about You

I was born to give You praise
through my Youth and my old age
oh God, I love everything about You

I bow at Your feet
I lay down my dreams
And give You this offering

All glory to the risen King
Who took three nails to set me free
You died for me

You’re the one who took my shape
Who lifts my head and heals my pain
You turned my tears into Your song
Now I know where I belong

I bow at Your feet
I lay down my dreams
And give You this offering

All glory to the risen King
Who took three nails to set me free
You died for me
Your mercy everyday brand new
Is now the song that I sing to
I live for You

I’ll sing it in my streets, I’ll sing it in my church
I’ll sing it out loud until it hurts

All glory to the risen King
Who took three nails to set me free
You died for me
Your mercy everyday brand new
Is now the song that I sing to
I live for You

About

This is the newest song on the album. Last year I got to spend two months leading worship in South Chicago, which was a luxury for 2 reasons. I got to sleep in my own bed in Rockford Illinois, and I made friendships that will last a lifetime, I hope.

This congregation of 2000 that met in a high school auditorium taught me a thing or two about the true meaning of worship. I have never felt so comfortable being myself, and so loved by church people in all of my life. These people knew what hard times were and they worshipped with all of their heart in the center of their circumstances. So of course I stayed with them as long as I could!

The heart of this song popped out of me in the middle of a "spontaneous" bluesy feel worship. I will never forget the faces when we all started screaming "I'll sing it in my streets, I'll sing it in my church, I'll sing it out loud until it hurts" over and over! My mouth seriously hurt from smiling so big after that worship set! So here's to you Chicago, you're my title track, "Born To Worship"
