Enrichment Activities for Weave Your Word in Me

Create a Worship Hand Painting —

One way to make sure you understand something is to say the same thing using different words. That is what Hillsong did in the worship song “Lord I Give You My Heart” — they restated the greatest commandment from Mark 12:30 using words of worship spoken directly to God.

Join the lead singer Holly Dawson in expressing your complete devotion to the Lord through not only singing these restated words, but also feeling them by creating a worship hand painting.

This is how you do it:

1. Tape a large, blank piece of paper to the wall just above your head.
2. Put on a paint shirt to cover your sleeves and front.
3. Dip all or part of your hands into finger paint. (Don’t get so much paint on them that it drips. You can always redip them.)
4. As you listen to the music, slowly move your hands across the paper in movements of praise to God.
5. If you finish before the end of the song, complete your praise by continuing to sing, perhaps waving your hands above your head in adoration to God.
6. Say “Amen” and then clean your hands when the music has ended.

My Prayer

Lord I give You my heart — I give You my soul. I live for you alone. Every breath that I take, every moment I’m awake, Lord, have Your way in me. Amen.
