When I gaze into your holiness
When I look into your loveliness
When all things that surround become
shadows
in the light of you.
I worship you, I worship you.
The reason I live is to worship
you.
I worship you, I worship you.
The reason I live is to worship
you.
When I find the joy of reaching
your heart
When my will becomes enthroned
in your love
When all things that surround become
shadows
in the light of you.
I worship you, I worship you.
The reason I live is to worship
you.
I worship you, I worship you.
The reason I live is to worship
you.
This is a typical worship song
from a Spirit-filled Christian church and it describes an ecstatic experience
of union with God. Yoga literally means union
with God. Though religious people may often
disagree about the best way to achieve that union, it is obvious that when
we concentrate on our own best approach to this union, we will be less
concerned about what other people are doing and more absorbed with God
who is before us.
"When all things that surround
become shadows in the light of you,"
describes the state of complete
inner absorption on that light which is God. Let no fear-mongering theology
dissuade you from that light. That is our home. That is where Christ and
the other great ones reside. All true representatives of God are from the
one source who is the Universal Father. There is no other. There is but
one God as there is one sky over us all.
