I first heard Carlos Whittaker sing the song "We Will Worship You" at Creation last summer. Now I keep hearing the song on the radio. It is such a beautiful and challenging song! Carlos said that the chorus is based on a Puritan prayer. The lyrics to the chorus go "Save us from these comforts. Break us of our need for the familiar. Spare us any joy that's not of You and we will worship You." On Carlos Whittaker's website one man posted this about the chorus "It’s a prayer of Psalm 51. It’s a prayer for brokenness, and prayer of His sovereign nature. The last line “And we will worship You”, is not a statement of do this THEN we will do that. It’s more of . . . by nature we CANNOT worship until we are broken. How humbling that is. " May I make this my prayer today and every day!
