The words expressed exactly what we felt. When we sang it for the first time, I cried. Matt brought along a song he had written during that time. When we learned that, we brought the band back. We had let go of all comfort and could worship from the bottom of our hearts. One started singing a song, and everyone else joined in. We began to bring in our prayers, Bible verses, prophetic words, thanksgivings, praise and songs. But little by little a quiet but intimate worship grew. And in the beginning we were really silent. Then we sat down together and said: If no one brings in a worship sacrifice, then we are silent. To really learn what worship means to us, we dismissed the worship band.
It is not about what we get out of it, it is about God alone. It is not a product that shapes itself to the consumer’s taste. It fell like scales from our eyes: worship is not a spectator sport. Our body is the temple (Romans, chapter 12, verse 1) and we are called to bring a worship sacrifice (Hebrews, chapter 13, verse 15). In the Bible a sacrifice was necessary to worship God. We had forgotten that God alone is the audience and each of us has something to contribute. Inside we gave the worship team notes: “Oh no, not that song again.” “I can’t hear the bass at all.” “Well, she sings much better than he does.”… We had made the band a show act and ourselves an audience. Was it the worship band? Suddenly I understood what was going on: We had become worship beneficiaries instead of being a part of it. We sang the same songs, but it was as if we were far away from God. To create a good atmosphere we had no chairs and the light was dimmed. We always had a worship block in which the songs were about the cross and everyone had the opportunity to clean up between themselves and God. Everything looked good from the outside: The musicians tuned their instruments correctly, the sound mixer came on time. But at some point we realized that things were not going the way they used to. During worship we could pour out our hearts before God and experience how God touched us.
