“…many weeks what we mostly want is for worship to give us a good spiritual feeling. I suspect that by our inattention to what we’re singing. We sing various choruses that say, ‘Bring down your glory’ and ‘show us your face.’ But we do not know what we’re asking for. People in the Bible who actually encountered God’s glory fall on the ground in fear.” - Christianity Today
