NOW I UNDERSTAND
It reminds me of an older lady, who had no affinity for contemporary worship, who was complaining about a particular song used in the worship service at her church. A fellow worshipper responded, "Why, that is not a new song -- it is a very old song! David sang that song to Saul."

A.W. Tozer said something quite insightful in terms of overall service:
Before the judgment seat of Christ my service will not be judged by how much I have done but by how much of me there is in it. No man gives at all until he has given all. No man gives anything
