lyrics for the post christian

I have yet to come across a good resource for this, and I am thinking I will end up putting my own materials together, but I have some thoughts on how words are used in worship.

Declaration of God's nature, our relationship to Him, and His relationship to us moves me in worship.

With that said, I don't want to attack this particular song, rather I would like to comment on the way that it doesn't connect with me. "Come, now is the time to worship. Come, now is the time to give your heart." I understand the value being met by these lyrics, but instead of singing about worshiping, why don't we worship? There is one phrase in particular which has baffled me since I was young. "Praise the Lord" I understand it, don't get me wrong, the baffling comes from soccer.

I used to play soccer when I was young. I even scored some goals. Never once did my father, who was also my pastor, say "Praise Kurt." When he wanted to praise me, he found words to say. I just feel like if we really love God in a way that we desire to praise Him, then we should praise him. "You are more beautiful than anything, ever." Instead of saying "I praise You and worship You," we should praise and worship Him.
