about

This techno influenced song is about how Christian's worship today. It seems we have lost our sense wonder and of awe in our worship gatherings. Being seeker sensitive, culturally relavent is important in reaching those far from God. But, when we followers of Jesus in the pews start seeing the need to be marketed too we all cheapen the quality of our worship.

Making the praise of God "glorious" is a cry from the psalmist we need to recapture. This means we reflect the character of God more than the preferences of our comforts. Let's not be divided, but "be mature, secure and sanctified, unified presented as His Bride."

lyrics

Connoisseurs of worship we’ve become
Please, tickle us and make it fun
Feed us sermons with a silver spoon
Add some sugar and our favorite tunes

Give us our preference, make us glad
Challenge us then we’ll get plain mad

Where is the awe, where is the splendor
Where is the wonder in our worship?
Do we believe what we are singing
That even half of it is true?

Where is the awe, where is the splendor
Where is the wonder in our worship?
Do we believe that God is here
And, by our faith do we draw near?

Make no mistake this is our choice
Divide the church or be one voice

Be mature, secure and sanctified
Unified, presented as his bride!

Where is the awe, where is the splendor
Where is the wonder in our worship?
Do we believe what we are singing
That even half of it is true?

Where is the awe, where is the splendor
Where is the wonder in our worship?
Do we believe that God is here
And, by our faith do we draw near?

We make his praise glorious
We make his praise glorious
We make his praise glorious

We make his praise glorious
We make his praise glorious...

Where is the awe, where is the splendor
Where is the wonder in our worship?
Do we believe what we are singing
That even half of it is true?

Where is the awe, where is the splendor
Where is the wonder in our worship?
Do we believe that God is here
And, by our faith do we draw near?

We make his praise glorious
We make his praise glorious
Make his praise glorious
Draw near, draw near, draw near
We draw near!
