"I Don't Want to Talk About You Like You're Not in the Room"

"I don't want to talk about You, like You're not in the room
I want to look right at You, I want to sing right to You."

This is a bridge or a chorus that Aaron Gillespie sings in "You Won't Relent," and sung at IHOP-KC.

Really, I love these words. They are just so powerful. Simple, but powerful. It made me think. Yeah I know Laura thinking is bad.

I do go to church typically every Sunday, and sometimes on Wednesday, or some other time. But this night, this simple chorus has brought this question into my head: how often do we at church forget that we are singing right to him? Really worshiping the God of the universe. Forget that when we pray, it's a conversation straight to God, and it's not like snail mail that takes awhile to get there.

When we sing, when we pray... we are doing it directly to the Most High's face. His beautiful face. When we lift up our hands in worship, we should be desiring to be touched by God. I don't know, but it would be absolutely amazing to be touched by God and His Holy Spirit.

Think about it, Sunday morning while sitting in church on that chair, pew, or ground... are you going to talk about God like He's not in the room, or are you going to sit next to Him and have a conversation?

Let the Lord move.
