New Song of Inner Worship

Neville's Inner Vision

I do not read these lines as ceremony, but as a revelation of your inner life. When you sing a new song, you reset the state of consciousness you wear. The earth becomes the arena of your mind, and your declaration of salvation is a declaration of your own becoming. Declare His glory among the heathen, His wonders among all people, and you awaken to the truth that the Lord is great and greatly to be praised—the awareness in you that fears nothing but yields only to its own devotion. The gods of the nations are idols only insofar as you believed them real; but the Lord made the heavens—your highest possibilities and ideas arise from the one Life you call I AM. Honour and majesty are before Him: strength and beauty are in His sanctuary, meaning your refined habits of attention and your sense of sacred space. Give unto the Lord the glory due unto His name, bring an offering, and come into His courts—offer your attention, your gratitude, your faith, and enter the inner temple where holiness dwells. Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness and fear before Him, all the earth, and you have entered the timeless presence that you are.
