Alessandro Preziosi in “ Augustinus“ Teil 6,2009.mpg – Das Leben des heiligen Augustinus,des einflussreichsten Kirchenvaters des Christentums.

Über seine Unruhe vor der Bekehrung schreibt Augustinus zwölf Jahre später in den berühmten Confessiones im Buch I: „Dann, in dem großen Aufruhr meines inneren Menschen, den ich mit meiner Seele so heftig entfacht hat in der Kammer meines Herzens, stürze ich, verstört im Gesicht und im Geist, zu Alypius und rufe ihm zu: »Wie halten wir das aus? Was bedeutet das? Hast Du es gehört?«“ Sein wichtigster Satz zu seiner Bekehrung lautet: „Unruhig ist unser Herz, bis es ruht in dir.“

Clear The Stage

Clear the stage and set the sound and lights ablaze

If that’s the measure you must take to crush the idols


Jerk the pews & all the decorations, too 

Until the congregations few, then have revival


Tell your friends that this is where the party ends 

Until you’re broken for your sins, you can’t be social


Then seek the Lord and wait for what He has in store 

And know that great is your reward so just be hopeful



‘Cause you can sing all you want to

Yes, you can sing all you want to

You can sing all you want to

And still get it wrong;
worship is more than a song



Take a break from all the plans that you have made 

And sit at home alone and wait for God to whisper


Beg Him please to open up His mouth and speak

And pray for real upon your knees until they blister


Shine the light on every corner of your life

Until the pride and lust and lies are in the open


Then read the Word and put to test the things you’ve heard 

Until your heart and soul are stirred and rocked and broken


‘Cause you can sing all you want to

Yes, you can sing all you want to

You can sing all you want to

And still get it wrong; worship is more than a song


We must not worship something that’s not even worth it

Clear the stage, make some space for the One who deserves it



Anything I put before my God, is an idol
Anything I want with all my heart, is an idol
Anything can’t stop thinking of, is an idol
Anything that I give all my love, is an idol

‘Cause I can sing all I want to

Yes, I can sing all I want to
I can sing all I want to

And still get it wrong

And you can sing all you want to

Yes, you can, you can sing all you want to

You can sing all you want to

And still get it wrong; worship is more than a song
Worship is more than a song

Clear the stage and set the sound and lights ablaze

If that’s the measure you must take to crush the idols
