Proskuneo - Praise Series

orchidee



Tune: Dundee

(one tune to 'O God of Bethel')

**********

Proskuneo, to self prostrate

Before the Lord, He great

To bow in worship, reverence

And His true presence sense

 

To adore, to kiss, as dog shows

To its master, it knows

Him, and faithfully licks his hand

Relationship understands

 

Luke 4 v.8

Jesus did to the Devil say

Be gone and go your way

For 'tis written, You shall worship

The Lord in deed and lip

 

Luke 4 v.8

Him only shall you serve, and none

Take His place, he the one

Worthy of all to have first place

And praise from every race

 

Revelation 15 v.4

Who shall not fear you, O Lord great

And glorify your state

You only holy, nations all

Shall worship, on you call

 

John 4 v.24

God is a Spirit, and they who

Worship Him, such must do

Worship Him in truth and spirit

For such a stance is fit

    True - God is a Spirit and has nothing to do with christianity.

      Thanks Gold. Ahh - one phrase often heard is 'Christianity is Christ'.

      Afternoon Uncle Steve ~ Thanks for sharing a Golden Oldie from the Scottish Psalter - very uplifting !
      A bit Theologically academic today invoking the GREEK
      PROSCUNEO is a very powerful word invoking as you say *Total AWE in the presence of GOD* Some ofthis essential awe & reverence is missing in some of the Happy Clappy Churches but they do compensate it with JOY & LOVE !

      Blessings to You & Your Charismatic Cur
      Spritual Love ANGELA - BRIAN & SMOKEY !
