They way I look at it, if I look at my own life and how worship in the form of music is just an extension of prayer, my best prayers come out of the times that I rely on the spirit to pray through me or for me, perhaps even intercede on my behalf. The same is in musical praise and worship: if I let the Spirit do the singing, if I let the Spirit do the guitar playing, if I let the Spirit do the crescendos and decrescendos, then I have allowed for the best praise possible, none of my own human interference--rather, Spirit praising Father.

If your heart's not right you can't worship, and if you barely know the song you can't relax to worship. In the desire for wanting to play every new song that hits the radio we loose the freedom that comes with really knowing a song well enough to relax while performing it. Most church musicians are amatures and can't always just jump in and play a song well after going through it twice. They need time to get comfortable with the song. If worship leaders want musicians to worship, they have to be willing to do less new material and spend the time necessary to have a relaxed team that is both spiitually and musically ready to worship. As in most things in life, it takes discipline, hard work and sacrifice to achieve anything worthwhile.
