Total Abandon

[04.07.08] Julie Meyer says she used to simply sing songs about God, but now she desires to worship Him with total abandon.

 When I began to understand God's love and passion for me, regardless of how weak I was, it radically changed my life,” she says.

A full-time worship leader at the International House of Prayer in Kansas City, Mo., Meyer is known for her prophetic worship music, which she has recorded on five CDs, including her latest, Longing for the Day.

She says prophetic worship is born of intimacy with God. “You can't copy prophetic worship,” she insists. “It must come from a heart that is absolutely abandoned to the Lord—a heart like David's that pants after God.” —Sandra K. Chambers
