I have had this thing where I haven't really felt the presence of God during a type of worship or even been moved for a very very long time. There was a point where I would try so hard... I wanted it pretty bad. It was all I would think about during worship. I was given some wisdom on the issue and stopped worrying about it so much, and just decided to sing and praise ultimately God was worthy, whether I was into it or not.

And so of course, there being years between when I was last moved by worship, when I least expected to feel God's presence, I do. It was during Chris Tomlin, and it was just like there was something I was actually clear about. It was good...

we were singing "we'll sing your praise forever" (from the hymn, Oh come let us adore Him, that we usually sing during Christmas time)

if i don't do anything else... just sing
