At the dawn of time, long, long, ago
Before the fall of Satan, brought the world much woe
The harmony of heaven, rang out with love and praise
To the Lord on High, much worship they would raise

As Satan walked the Mount of God, amongst the stones of fire
He coveted God’s worship, with unholy, consuming desire
“I will ascend to heaven, and be like the Most High
I want to be the one, they worship and glorify”

“You were blameless in your ways, from the day you were created
Till wickedness was found in you, and you were relocated
I drove you in disgrace, from the Mount of God
Expelling you, guardian cherub, and threw you to earth’s sod”

A war of worship started, to gain the hearts of men
Using weapons, lies, deception, and even poisoned pen
Vast destruction left its mark, across a battered earth
Darkness seemed to reign triumphant, until a wondrous birth

All of heaven worshipped at this miraculous sign
That Jesus would descend and leave His home divine
To come to earth, to rescue those, caught in Satan’s plan
He lived a sinless life to die, in place of sinful man

God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son
To all who do believe, true worship has begun
Now in Spirit and in Truth we worship who we know
As we join with those in heaven our praises overflow

Who will you worship? Maybe you look to self
You are imitating Satan, who looked for praise himself
This war of worship started, in a perfect place
Choose the person wisely, it’s heaven or disgrace

Isaiah 14:12-15 – “How you have fallen from heaven, O morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations! 13 You said in your heart, “I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly, on the utmost heights of the sacred mountain. 14 I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.” 15 But you are brought down to the grave, to the depths of the pit.”
John 4:23-24 – “Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. 24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.”
