In Mark 12:30, we are told to love God with all our heart and with all our soul and all our mind. Sung worship is one expression of that love.

Consider the songs that we used this morning. Why were they chosen? And what is the message behind the words?

• What good is it, to gain the whole world, but lose your soul
• God in my waking/God in my sleeping/God in my resting/There in my working
• Where Your streams of abundance flow/Blessed be Your name
• I will offer up my life in spirit and truth Pouring out the oil of love as my worship to you
