Overwhelming Worship

My head was in such a funny place this morning – there were all sorts of things happening: flow on from yesterday, needing to get youthy stuff organised for the upcoming term and also some other stuff that will eventually come out in the wash. Due to getting most of the way to church and realising that I hadn’t shaved (which was important today), I ended up walking in to the building with church having already started.

Not an ideal preparation. Which makes the next bit all a bit baffling. From the moment I started singing the first song, it suddenly felt like there was only one thing going on right there and then. Maybe partly that had to do with the music being really exceptional this morning (which maybe it was) but I’m pretty sure that it was just really that through whatever, God just suddenly met with me.

Now those of you who were there and who are avid readers, will know what’s coming: either the last or second last song was my absolute all time favourite hymn (and probably worship song full stop): “How Great Thou Art”. (it got a mention the other day in my happy songs list) And it pretty much overwhelmed me. “Then sings my soul, My saviour God to Thee, how great thou art”. Every time that line starts, it really does feel like it’s my soul that’s singing.

Sorry that this is a bit of an incoherent ramble, I was just blown away by the wow-ness of the whole experience, and even though I’m not coming close to expressing it properly, wanted to have a go. Yay God!
