Radix
I have seen the altars crowded
With men repenting of their sin,
Reconciling wrongs and being refreshed
Being filled with the Holy Spirit within
Some dance, some shout and clap their hands
While others knelt
and bowed and wept.
Our Father gives it all, then He receives it all
And in heaven’s treasury it’s kept
Experience is not the root of worship;
Experiences are the overflow
For true and living praise
Starts with the author of our days
And is yielded back to Him so we can show
He is the giver and the receiver of our worship.
So we minister unto You oh Lord!
He unifies believers in our worship
And makes of us a mighty threefold cord.
He is the giver of the desire
He is the giver of the Holy fire
He is the receiver of our offering
He gives and receives the song that we sing
