| More Than Worthy is a
song that I wrote spontaneously after singing another song.
I was picking the music for a worship set at my church one
evening. I had just finished singing Heart of
Worship by Matt Redman. Just as the song was
ringing out and I was thinking of what the song was
actually saying, I started to sing this song. There
isn't much to say about it's theology really. It's an
intimate song. It can be an honest song if sung from
the right mindset. I remember deciding on the line, "I
want to worship you in everything I do." This is a
line that I think is really transparent to God if we sing it
when we don't really mean it. I chose the word "want"
specifically here, because I realized that I couldn't
justify telling God that I worship Him in everything
I do. It may be a goal and a worthy one at that, but
maybe not that realistic. I could say however,
that I wanted it to be like that. I think it's a goal
we can all strive for, though I'm not sure we will ever
achieve it in our humanness.
This song is recorded
much like I use it in a live setting. I chose not to
use a traditional drum kit just to keep it interesting.
Vocally, it is almost identical to the way the Holy Trinity
music group performs it. Not surprising as the singers
are all members of the group. And once again, my
good friend Michael Wilke has managed to add his touch to
this song that has left a really sweet flavour.
The downloadable clip for this song features some of
Michael's bass work. There aren't many songs you can
hear that have a bass solo lasting as long as it does here.
I love it. Shauna also came up with these awesome
"Holy One" echoes that really lifted the second verse for
me. I really like the way they turned out. |
