Amos 5:22-24
22 Though you offer Me burnt offerings and your grain offerings, I will not accept them, nor will I regard your fattened peace offerings. 23 Take away from Me the noise of your songs, for I will not hear the melody of your stringed instruments. 24 But let justice run down like water, and righteousness like a mighty stream."

If we do not know the God we worship, if we are unrighteous and unjust to Him and others, then all the songs we sing and offerings we give are meaningless to Him. He wants our hearts and lives. These are acceptable offerings of justice and righteousness. His. Nothing less. Do we love Jesus Christ as the one way to please God by faith, and do we seek to love Him by treating others in love with justice, mercy, and right actions? He wants mercy and not sacrifice which is empty.
