Songs:     The Whole of God Embodied   New!

God of Glory Beyond
 The Image of Grace
 About the Father (Jesus Came)
 God of Glory Now
Awesome Intimately
Your Very Own

This page will periodically feature worship songs of praise, thanksgiving, love, delight in God (as Father,
Son and Holy Spirit) -- songs to sing from the heart. 

Whatever type of music you use for worship, be sure that it has relational clarity:

Low-key music should not dampen but deepen our thoughts and feelings to more intimate connections with God.

Upbeat music should not deaden (numb with sensory stimulation) but enliven by stirring our hearts to open to the heart of God.

Songs for His glory!

"I have brought you glory on earth by completing the work you gave me to do" (Jn.17:4). In his prayer to the Father Jesus defined his purpose during his earthly stay as totally devoted to revealing the Father (17:6). Everything he did served the purpose to intimately connect us to his Father, especially his work on the cross. While we benefit from the cross, we need to realize fully that the cross only serves the Father, and his desire to redeem us, adopt us and make us his very own daughters and sons in his family. Sometimes I think we get imbalanced in our focus on Christ to the exclusion of our Father. Yet, Jesus was all about his Father. Our worship needs more praise and thanksgiving to the Father, and we need more songs focused on him. The following song was written for this purpose. We share it with you to stimulate your relationship with your Father and to challenge you to express other songs of worship to our Father.
