Is your love really Love?
Is my love really Love?
I think our loves isn’t Love.
Unless it’s Love to the end.

Is your god really God?
Is my god really God?
I think our god isn’t God.
If he fits inside our heads.

Sanctus Real

“If worship is mindless, it is meaningless.”
    -Rick Warren, The Purpose Driven Life

Sanctus Real’s new cd is here! I have yet to get it, but hopefully I will have it as soon as I can. I have always loved the name Sanctus Real, ever since I looked up the word ’sanctus,’ of course. Whatever the definition might say, I think of ’sanctus’ as being a ritual worshipful song, just something that is done and over with, something on a checklist. But a real sanctus, I always just think of meaning, a real song of praise and worship, true, moving, loving. That’s how I want my worship to be.

Paul Colman – Africa

It seems that when I make it a point to blog about something, I stay up very late. But I do have something to blog about for today.

I remember back to when I used to listen to the Paul Colman Trio often. They had a song called Africa that he wrote about a trip to Africa where he was going to play at some place, I think it was a church. About that song, he said that while he was there and as he saw how those people worshiped, he was just speechless. He went up to play his music, but he said he couldn’t do it after seeing how real and authentic and beautiful that their worship was. I don’t know how the rest of the story went, but that’s ok.

Somehow, I was reminded of this song tonight. I imagine having my breath taken away at seeing such a powerful act of worship. What will it take for me to worship like that? What will I have to change in my life? How about you? I hope that I can think upon this, and I encourage you to think about it as well.
