And you sincerely feel that is reverent and holy?

It is reverent. Only God is Holy.

You have to take a step back and examine what you are doing and why you are doing it. In my case, I am taking the gifts God gave me (musically), and giving them back to him as a sacrifice. Kind of like if you give your child some money, and he uses it to buy paper and crayons and draws you a picture.

Allah is a god who only wants awe from his worshippers. Allah is a false god. Our God, the one true God, is worthy of that kind of awe-struck worship, but he also requires something far more personal. He wants us to have a relationship with him, one that isn't based on awe or fear alone, but one more akin to a father-child relationship. He wants us to seek him.

Just a Closer Walk With Thee.
Draw Me Close.

They are the same song.
