And So It Begins..

I start by stating my mission. In an attempts to find some amazing old honest heart felt worship songs. Im going to take a journey through a HYMNAL! Whoooo! Ive also bought some books with background stories and information on when some of the Hymns were written and by whom and what inspired them... Im actually quite excited. I wanna try to do at least one a day. SO let do this!

First up: "Holy, Holy, Holy! Lord God Almighty"

The words were written in 1826 by a Reginald Heber while serving as Vicar of Hodnet, Shropshire, England. Explained further you notice that in every verse he will list attributes in three's. This is to bring praise to all the heads of the trinity. Saying Holy, Holy, Holy! Is saying such of each the Son, the Father and The Holy Spirit.

Something this brings to mind is how far worship songs have come. We now sing praise for all God has done for us. Which by all means he deserves... But Im wondering now how often I just worship God because of how purely Holy he is. Just for being, he deserves praise. And every aspect of the Trinity does. Kind of a missed mark there.

Interesting way to start.
