Where are your two lines?

TRUE WORSH1P

"Praise the LORD!Praise God in His temple; praise Him in His mighty heaven. Praise Him for His strength; Praise Him for His greatness. Praise Him with trumpet blasts; Praise Him with harps and lyres. Praise Him with tambourines and dancing; Praise Him with stringed instruments and flutes. Priase Him with loud cymbals. Let everything that breathes praise the LORD. Praise the LORD!"
~ Psalms 150 (NCV)

The 1 in the worsh1p.
I want it to be true worsh1p, not just half hearted, only during the time I have free. Worship is a lifestyle . It's not simply about taking time out when you can spare it. It's about always worshipping. 24/7. Bern once said, theres a concept of starting a prayer in the morning and not saying amen, so that everything you say is like a Prayer to God. I think that concept can be applied to worship too.

So I'm taking things one step further.
Sleep earlier.
Wake up earlier.
Start the day off with a song and a prayer.
To worship God at the beginning of the day, and ending of the day.
To keep on remembering... God is the one who was, and is, and is to come.

"LORD I ask of You this day, come and make me whole, make me whole again.With heart renewed and worship true, Christ my Saviour my king, this I promise you."

A COVENANT WITH CHRIST:
WITH THIS DAY, I'LL STRIVE TO WORSHIP YOU,
DAY AND NIGHT, WITHOUT IF'S, BUTS OR MIGHTS.
I'LL WORSHIP AS A LIFESTYLE, LIVING OUT YOUR LIGHT
IN THIS DARK DARK WORLD. WORSHIP AND PRAYER WILL BE
THE CORE OF WHAT I HOPE IS A LIFE THAT BECOMES HOLY AND PLEASING
TO YOU.

" I'm on a mission. Not a mission to go far far away. Not a mission to help other people. Not a mission to do great things. Simply a mission to strive for a genuine heart of worship. I can't help others unless I can help myself. So I'll come before You, bring You more than a song. With arms high, feeling Your consuming fire wash over me. And with Eagle's wings, I'll fly. And with that, I'll raise Your banner high.
"Lord I love You, and I wish to bring You praise"
I pray that I may be able to live out this prayer through my life, my actions and my heart.
So I come to you, with a Heart of Worship"
