As I was reading the scriptures on my journey today, this song was playing in the background: “Adoration” by Benton Brown. I have included a link in case you would like to listen in as well.

The words that touched me were “receive my adoration.” I was reading the passage pertaining to Jesus on the cross, and I sat in awe at how much He gave to us. All I can offer is my adoration in return. “How wonderful you are” are words that speak of all He gave for us. That all He asks in return is surrender of our will to Him.
It is interesting to note as well that in the closing sentence of 1st John, the words describe some of this wonderment:
And he said to him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see heaven opened,
and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man."
Today I want to invite you to worship God--to pause and think of all He has done. May He receive our adoration! Amen.
“Adoration” by Benton Brown
(Verse 1) We bow our hearts, We lift our hands We turn our eyes to you again. And we surrender to the truth That all we need is found in You.
(Chorus) Receive our adoration Jesus Lamb of God Receive our adoration, How wonderful you are
(Verse 2) We choose to leave it all Behind and turn our eyes towards the prize The upward call of God in Christ You have our hearts, Lord take our lives
(Bridge) Every soul you've saved sings out Everything you've made resounds All creation's standing now Lifting up your name We're joining in the angel's song We’re gathered to your ancient throne Children in our Father's armsShouting out your praise
