I Do Worship - John P. Kee
Meaning & Inspiration
Released on March 18, 2008, John P. Kee's "I Do Worship" stands as a powerful declaration of unwavering praise and gratitude, deeply rooted in the foundational truths of the Christian faith. The song's genesis is found not in a complex narrative, but in the profound simplicity of a soul moved by the unshakeable character of God. Kee's offering is a direct outpouring from a heart that has experienced the transformative power of divine goodness and glory, the inherent joy found in God's unfolding plan, and the liberating freedom that comes from His intervention. This isn't merely a song of fleeting emotion; it is a conscious, deliberate act of devotion, an affirmation of the believer's commitment to acknowledge and celebrate the source of all blessings. The repeated refrain, "I do worship You," acts as a powerful anchor, emphasizing the personal and active nature of this praise. It mirrors the Psalmist's declaration in Psalm 119:164, "Seven times a day I praise you, for your righteous rules," highlighting a consistent and comprehensive devotion.
The core message of "I Do Worship" resonates with the abundant reasons for adoration laid out in Scripture. The mention of God's "goodness and Your glory" directly calls to mind verses like Psalm 145:7, which speaks of "celebrating your abundant goodness and joyfully singing of your righteousness." The "joy inside Your story" points to the redemptive narrative of salvation, the unfolding of God's majestic plan through history, culminating in the peace and freedom He provides. This joy is not circumstantial; it is a fruit of the Spirit, a deep-seated contentment that transcends earthly trials, as promised in John 16:22: "So with you: Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you." Furthermore, the acknowledgment of peace and freedom is a direct testament to the finished work of Christ, the peace that surpasses all understanding mentioned in Philippians 4:7, and the freedom from sin and its consequences described in Galatians 5:1: "It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery." The song’s structure, with its recurring chorus and expansive vamp, builds an atmosphere of escalating praise, mirroring the collective and individual expressions of worship found throughout the Bible. The repeated affirmations of faithfulness, such as "He's so faithful," directly echo promises like those in Lamentations 3:22-23: "Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness." "I Do Worship" is therefore more than a song; it is a spiritual exercise, an invitation to recognize the profound gifts of God and to respond with a worship that is both deeply personal and eternally significant, a tangible expression of love as declared in the closing lines, echoing Jesus' own commandment in John 14:15, "If you love me, keep my commands."
