The vitality and depth of our worship are directly related to our view of God. If we truly know him as he is, three things will characterize our worship: awe before the Wholly Other, shame before the Absolutely Pure, gratitude before the Merciful One. When we know that he alone is God, we fall before him in awe. When we know that he alone is perfect, we fall before him in shame. But when we know that he, the holy One, so desires our fellowship that he gave his only son to make it possible, we fall before him in gratitude and praise and sing the wonder of his holiness and the glory of his amazing grace.
Some day, I hope to hear, “Hey Mack, take the cuffs off him, I think he’s a Hall of Famer!”

Amazing Grace
It's a day early for the usual "Friday Doe-See-Doe" but I couldn't wait to share this one with you. This had me weeping and cheering all at once. Stay with it to the end:
