Undignified

Just purchased a new CD this weekend… a Matt Redman worship CD, featuring Blessed be the Name and others. I have to say, I’m really enjoying “Undignified”…

Here’s some of the lyrics:

I will dance, I will sing, to be mad for my King
Nothing Lord is hindering the passion in my soul.
I will dance, I will sing, to be mad for my King
Nothing Lord is hindering the passion in my soul.

and I’ll become even more undignified than this
(some would say its foolishness)
but I’ll become even more undignified than this
gonna leave my pride by the side

and I’ll become even more undignified than this.

What a message (not to mention the GREAT music)!

Think about it… when you worship our Lord… what are you worried about? How lifting your hands might be seen by others? How falling on your knees might make you look? How dancing might bring the scorn of some of our more traditional Christian friends? That you might, as Matt’s song says, look undignified?

I’d like to think that all of us would say no… that we never worry about what others think when offering our worship. The sad fact is that all of us do from time to time (if not ALL the time). But it begs the question… if you hold back because of what others might think, are you giving God everything He deserves from your worship? Are YOU missing out on the joy of pure worship as a result?

Things to think about.
