This is my second time to write about worship service. Maybe because after all these years of singing for the Lord, I find myself in a place I’ve never been before.
Every time I step onto the stage, something unusual happens. Parang nawawala ang lahat.
The lights. The crowd. The noise. Even my awareness that I am singing in front of about a hundred people. It feels like it’s just me… and Jesus.
Every lyric is no longer just a song to sing. It becomes my personal conversation with Him. Every line feels like a prayer. Every chorus becomes an offering.
To be honest, I sometimes wonder if this is a good thing or not. Because as music ministers, we’re called to help people encounter God. We are not just worshippers—we are also servants guiding others into His presence.
Yet lately, I hardly notice the congregation. My eyes may see them, but my heart is fixed on only One.
Could this be the fruit of the life coaching journey I’ve been going through? I don’t know. But one thing I do know is this: my prayer life has become richer. My conversations with God have become more real. Worship no longer begins when the music starts. It has quietly become the posture of my heart.
Maybe this season is God’s gentle reminder that before I can lead people to sing in worship, I must first become a true worshipper myself.
And perhaps that’s the beautiful mystery. When a music minister is genuinely captivated by Jesus, people don’t end up watching the worship leader—they begin looking at Jesus too.
So, I’ll keep singing. Not to impress. Not to perform. Not even to be noticed. But simply because the One I sing to is worthy.
“Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.”
