DECONSTRUCTION TO WORSHIP (INTERLUDE) Lyrics

In recent history

The word "deconstruction" (Has) been thrown around a lot

And I think within a lot of church spaces

There has been like a fear attached to the word

For a lot of people

Largely young people

When they say that they are deconstructing

Often times that means that they are leaving the faith community

That they're rejecting the love of God and walking away from it

However that's not always the case

I myself went through a deconstruction period

What I discovered was that

I actually made a god out of my own comfort

And out of my own preferences

For that reason I think Holy Spirit led me

Through a deconstruction process

It's part of the sanctification process in my mind

The God I had built was not the god

Who was

Is

And is to come

And as I began to question you know

Who is this god that I worship

And who is the God that I read about in the Bible

It didn't actually lead to a crumbling down of my faith but a rebuilding

It actually lead to worship

I really want to encourage people

Don't be afraid to ask questions

And don't be afraid to even enter into a "deconstruction"

Perhaps God is allowing you to see

That the God that you serve

Is different than what you are comfortable with

And He is much too beautiful to be monotonized into a way that comfortable for you

But instead to embrace the beautiful complexity that is Him

As manifested in people of various colors, cultures and creeds
