the fine line between leading and worshiping

[sonworshiper]

Hi all,



I've been thinking about this quite a bit over the last few years. It comes from the concept that my mentor in leading worship told me way back when I first began leading worship, to pay attention to where people are during the worship. Let them sit if they seem tired, pay attention to what they're doing kind of thing. She also said that the worship leader should never get "so lost" in worship that they don't notice that they've lost the congregation.



Since that time, I have become more and more of a worshiper. Sometimes, it's hard to pay attention to what's going on AND worship God myself. Do you know what I mean? I don't want to become a lead worshiper who is "lost" in worship while the congregants look on in wonder. . . . :brow:



I find that at certain times in worship, I HAVE to close my eyes and concentrate only on God, or I lose my way--like in spontaneous worship and such. :yes:



Just wondering what your opinions would be on this subject. . . .bring 'em on Dean! (and Helena!) ;-)



blessings! :twirl:



Moe.
