Search me, O God, and know my heart today,
Try me, O Savior, know my thoughts, I pray;
See if there be some wicked way in me;
Cleanse me from every sin, and set me free.

I praise Thee, Lord, for cleansing me from sin;
Fulfill Thy word and make me pure within;
Fill me with fire, where once I burned with shame;
Grant my desire to magnify Thy name.

Lord, take my life, and make it wholly Thine;
Fill my poor heart with Thy great love divine;
Take all my will, my passion, self and pride;
I now surrender, Lord, in me abide.

O Holy Ghost, revival comes from Thee;
Send a revival, start the work in me;
Thy Word declares Thou wilt supply our need;
For blessings now, O Lord, I humbly plead.

- James E. Orr

True worship must involve our whole being. Mind, heart and will must harmonize to magnify His name. We must praise Him with understanding, so we shall not encourage mindless ditties. Exhortations to “try to lift the roof off this time” have more to do with FA Cup finals than worship, and to be told to “sing it as though you really mean it” is sacrilege. What is the difference between that and an outright invitation to be hypocrites? If any worship leader feels he has to make such a request, then everyone has already missed the point of worshipping in truth. A careless mental attitude prevents true worship.
