Meaning & Inspiration
Come Let Us Worship And Bow Down is a short song drawn directly from Psalm 95. The opening lines repeat the invitation to worship, bow down and kneel before the Lord, who is named as God and Maker, following Psalm 95:6.
The second part gives the reason in the words of the next verse: "He is our God, and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand." Psalm 95:7 and Psalm 100:3 both use that shepherd imagery to describe a people cared for by God. Each line is brief and repeated, which makes the song easy for a congregation to learn and sing without a book. The tone is humble and unhurried, placing worship as a response to who God is, and the closing phrase "just the sheep of his hand" leaves the lasting picture of dependence and care. It suits the opening of a time of worship.
