We Worship Ourselves

We worship ourselves,
Though it is You
Who is sovereign;
Has everything in control.

We worship ourselves.
We seek to earn a place with You
But You are the One
Who extends Himself to us first.

We worship ourselves.
Searching for You as our comfort
When idols cease to satisfy.
We drink of Your water
Just enough to get us back
To the poisons that slowly
Deplete our souls without our knowing.

You are Lord
And everlasting.
Your existence is more 
Than I can fathom.
Can I rightly describe
The measure of Your majesty?

All I know is when I am before
You, a shift in the atmosphere 
Stirs inside my heart.
I lose the eloquent words;
My legs forget their strength.
What gifts I inherited 
Bow before the One 
Who bestowed them.

Maybe I fail to utter who You are, 
For my eyes have sought for my sake.
I admit
I can worship myself.

Bring me into the room
That I may know my First Love
Again.  Might I be enraptured
By your presence, obsessed
With the One who deserves all the praise.
