The disciples did just as Jesus told them. They brought the donkey and the colt and put on them their cloaks, and He sat on them.
Most of the crown spread their cloaks on the road, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road.
And the crowds that went before him and that followed him were shouting,
"Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!"

The Canadian Mall Christmas Surprise
I have watched this multiple times and I get a little more emotional each time. It's not because I haven't heard this before. In fact, I have heard it hundreds of times. But, there is something about these people proclaiming the name of the Messiah in a place (Canada) where that seems to be difficult to do these days. And, what better way to proclaim it than with the most celebrated piece of the most awesome Christmas art ever produced (in my humble opinion).
What am I referring to? Well, you'll have to check it out for yourself by clicking the link right here.

All I Know
Your faithfulness endures always
Where mountains fall and reason fails
And You calm the raging seas
And You calm the storms in me, again
All I know is find rest in You.
Where mountains fall and reason fails
And You calm the raging seas
And You calm the storms in me, again
All I know is find rest in You.

Definitive Meaning of Worship
By the rivers of Babylon,
There we sat down and wept,
When we remembered Zion.
Upon the willows in the midst of it
We hung our harps.
For there our captors demanded of us songs,
And our tormentors mirth, saying,
"Sing us one of the songs of Zion."
How can we sing the LORD'S song
In a foreign land?
If I forget you, O Jerusalem,
May my right hand forget her skill.
May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth
If I do not remember you,
If I do not exalt Jerusalem
Above my chief joy.
-Psalm 137
This is a definitive model of worship. In this passage, these Israelite musicians were distraught not just at their captivity but at the thought of singing and playing for any other reason except for God and His Holy City.
They could not play for their captors - that would have been entertainment. What they were about was worship....not entertainment. True, Sincere, Honest worship of the only One who is worthy of it.
In your own heart, do you honestly view worship this way? Or, are you more concerned about whether you like the music or the artist or the style you are hearing? The former is about God. The latter is about you. If it is about you, it is not worship.
Prayer:

Prayer:
"Abba Father, may I lose my voice if I don't use it to praise You. In fact, I can think of nothing else I could ever do with my voice except to use it to praise You. God, I want this to apply to my hands, feet, mind; my desires; my affections - EVERYTHING that I am. If I cannot worship You, I will lay my harp on the willows - and my life on the alter - for I have no use for either."
He Won't Relent...Praise God
You won't relent until You have it all
My heart is Yours
I'll set You as a seal upon my heart
As a seal upon my arm
For there is love that is as strong as death
Jealousy demanding as the grave
Many waters cannot quench this love
Come be the fire inside of me
Come be the flame upon my heart
come be the fire inside of me
Until You and I are one

Our God Is Greater
Water you turned into wine
Opened the eyes of the blind
There's no one like you
None like you
Into the darkness you shine
Out of the ashes we rise
There is no one like you
None like you
Our God is greater
Our God is stronger
God you are higher than any other
Our God is Healer
Awesome in power
Our God
Our God
And if our God is for us
Then who could ever stop us
And if our God is with us
Then what could stand against?
-Matt Redman, Chris Tomlin & 22,000 Children of the Most High at Passion 2010

Friday
You Alone Can Rescue (We Lift Up Our Eyes)
Who, oh Lord, could save themselves
There own soul could heal?
Our shame was deeper than the sea
Your grace is deeper still
You alone can rescue
You alone can save
You alone can lift us from the grave
You came down to find us
Led us out of death
To You alone belongs the highest praise
So we lift up our eyes
We lift up our eyes
To the Giver of life
We lift up our eyes
We lift up our eyes
To the Giver of life

The Stand
I'll stand
With arms high and heart abandoned
In awe
Of the One who gave it all
I'll stand
My soul, Lord, to You surrendered
All I have is Yours

Our hearts they cry
Be lifted high
Be glorified
Above all things
For You our King
With everything
We will shout forth Your praise
