If Ever You Worshiped

Words and music by Danny Oertli

It wasn't that long ago

You were a girl all alone

There was no way to know

How soon you'd have kids of your own

Now you're the first one awake

The last one asleep

Cleaning and making your plans

And there are days when it feels

Like there's no time to pray

You wonder if God understands

But if ever you worshiped it's now

If ever you kept your vow

You may not understand how

But if ever you worshiped it's now

The memory of leaves in the fall

Walking through the canyons so tall

God was so close in it all

Now your chance to worship seems small

You're the first one to taste

But the last one to eat

When everyone goes their own way

And it's your name that's called

In the deep of the night

One more hour of sleep floats away

Chorus

Every shirt that you fold

Every nose that you blow

Is a gift to the Father above

Every lunch that is made

Every game that is played

Is an offering of love

Writing the words doesn't convey how pretty this song is when you hear it sung by Danny Oertli. It's a great reminder for me that in the mist of the nitty-gritty stuff I do every day, I can worship God and do even the little things for His glory.
