I am touched by His love once again

You Are Holy
You are Holy Holy
Lord there is none like you
You are holy, holy
Glory to you alone

I sing your praises forever
Deeper in love with you
Here is your courts
Where I'm close to your throne
I found where I belong

It is one of those rare moments where I really feel ministered when I am on the keys. I can barely sing along when I play songs on the piano, let alone worship. Most of the time, my concentration is on getting the notes right.

Today, God got a message across while letting me get this song right. A lot of times, when I sing a song about God being holy, I will feel either uneasy or guilty that I won't be able to worship at that moment in time. I realise it is all about God being holy, not about me being holy.

This song represents a message that God is speaking to me. He wants to tell me that He is holy and perfect and that I am imperfect, I am unholy, but God doesn't want me to be uneasy or guilty and far from Him. He wants me to come close to His throne where He is, to worship Him. He wants me to recognise that He is worthy to be worshipped because He is Holy, and He is perfect. He wants me to know that it is what He has done, not what I have done that gives me the right to stand in His presence. Not only that, He loves me regardless of whether I can meet up to his perfect standard or not, because in sending Jesus to die on the cross for all my sins and transgression, I can come to that place before Him and worship Him regardless of my heart condition. He wants me to realise that in His absolute perfection, I fall so far from His glory. In my wretchedness, that is where I can see how much I have been forgiven and how much I am loved.

Ain't He wonderful? Who is there like Him?
