Have you ever heard of the song "Have I Told You Lately" sung by Rod Stewart? Well, if you came from my era, you would know it.
It was written by Van Morrison in 1989 and made popular by Rod Stewart; coincidentally the same year CHC was founded, and the year that most of us (Chee, Jeremy, Jing Long, Nigel, Martin, Tanyaw and I) were born on. It has been a popular choice for love songs and wedding songs for decades, signifying the undying love in a relationship.
I first knew of this song in 1997, when my uncle passed me a compilation CD of love songs. I could memorize the lyric by heart, even though I knew not what it truly meant. I love the song very much, and I was just listening to the CD again a couple of days ago and thinking about God, when I realized something. It is a worship to the Lord!
Have I told you lately that I love You Have I told you there's no one else above You Fill my heart with gladness Take away all my sadness Ease my troubles thats what You do
For the morning sun in all its glory Greets the day with hope and comfort too You fill my life with laughter And somehow You make it better Ease my troubles that's what You do
There's a love thats divine And its Yours and its mine like the sun And at the end of the day We should give thanks and pray To the One, to the One
So here is my revelation:
Like the song, you have known God for the longest time. You praise Him and worship Him every single day without fail. You read His word and memorize verses. You pray to Him fervently during every prayer session, and You can pray so well that when fellow Christians hear you, they are touched by the things you say.
Here is the thing; have you really told Him that you love Him? Do you really understand what He wants from you? Is it all from the bottom of your heart, or just lip service?
