Tales of a Secret Rockstar

I heard this worship song at church on Sunday, and the chorus began like this:

"Here I am, worshipping you. With all I am, worshiping you."

And I thought to myself, "This is one of the most bizarre experiences I've ever had. I was literally singing to God about how I was worshiping him! It just seemed so bizarre to me that we would remind God about the fact that we were there worshipping Him. Maybe? Anyone? I know I tend to be more cerebral about these things than some people, but I just thought that this particular song went over the line from worshipping God to worshipping our experience of God. The entire focus of the chorus was on what I was doing to worship God, rather than the God who I was worshipping. It just really made me think about our worship. And that's kind of funny, because anyone who has been through Bible College has struggled with the issue of worship music. It's one of the things the teachers like to throw at you right away, just to mess with your head a little. I've been through it time and again. And I think I tend to swing from one side to the other on the issue of "what worship music is acceptable in church?"

I just wonder if we're forgetting to worship God in our music. We spend so much time singing about us that we miss who God is. I wonder what would happen if our songs were more about who God is. What if we sang some Psalms? Some of the lyrics in Revelation are amazing. Would we sense God's presence more if we stopped worrying about "feeling it" so much? I guess the question I'm asking myself is this:

Is our Pentecostal worship so self-absorbed that we're actually missing the experience of God that we sing about so much?
