What is Worship?

How does one truly worship God as God?
First, one must rid oneself of foolish pride,
open oneself and harbor no facade,
face God in full with nothing more to hide.

Then offer God one's entire life and fate,
confess God's power in all humility,
surrender to His will and consecrate
all of oneself freely and willingly.

How does one know God's will and what to do?
Pray on His Scripture and obey His law,
witness the faith and take God's Word as true,
accept and spread His love in fear and awe.

O God, it's You I worship and adore,
believe in, hope in, love forevermore.
