Sing Like Never Before - Matt Redman

DAY 4 OF 6

Lord Let Your Glory Fall – 2 Chronicles 7

Worship is meant to be an encounter. Look through the Bible and time and time again you’ll see the people of God encountering Him as they gather to worship. And when we do, it simply propels us into deeper worship. This song is based on a passage in 2 Chronicles where they dedicate the temple. There’s an intense sense of the people of God in the presence of God, pouring out the praises of God. So the song tells that story, of the praises that we might experience the same, joining in with the ancient song they sang that say, “You are good, and Your love endures…”

I’d like to do more storytelling in songs – as happened in this one. Graham, a pastor friend of mine, talks about 3 elements we can include in services, and even in songs: re-enactment, realization, and anticipation. They are the like the beginning, middle and end of a story. So we recall something God did in the history of His people – then we enter the realization stage – in other words, what that means to our lives, here and now today. And then we end in anticipation – knowing there is more still to come in this epic love story of God we exist in. If you can get these three elements into a service (or even a song), it’s a great way of adding depth. So perhaps we need more storytelling in our songs of worship.
