Worship should be completely for HIM. When I worship I want that total surrender and complete reverence for God that gives me shivers, tears, joy, and wholeness. Worship shouldn't be about how well you sing, how high you lift your hands, whether you can clap along to the beat, or what you look like to the cute guy sitting in the pew behind you. NONE OF THAT SHOULD MATTER!! Worship isn't about us, it's the one time where it's easiest to focus on us when it should be completely about HIM. If you're worrying about what others think about you while you worship the King, they don't matter. How great and holy are they if they're staring at you instead of into the face of Jesus?? Hint: Probably not very!
I LOVE worship. It's one of the ways I just fall into the arms of Jesus and let go. And sometimes it becomes so much more than that, more than what it is. Worship isn't just singing because in fact that's only one way to worship God.
Worship:
noun- The expression of adoration and reverence, a way in which love is shown or expressed
verb- To honor, love, and regard with adoring esteem and devotion
See singing in there? I don't. I think we as followers of Christ are called to live a life of Worship! 24/7 we should be living in a way that expresses our devotion and love to God. It shouldn't be a scheduled half hour to forty-five minutes every Sunday morning and Wednesday night. It should be all the time.
So lets just say we're talking about worshiping with our voices with song during Church, don't let anything hold you back from praising God the way you want and surrendering everything to him. What's wrong with how you sing? God MADE you to be like that and to sing to HIM in that voice! And what's wrong with dancing up and down for joy at what the LORD has done in your life and will do in your life? Nothing! In Psalms 149:3 it says,

and make music to him with timbrel and harp."
Don't live your life trying to please other people, live a worshipful life that pleases God and shows your love, devotion, and adoration!
Have a lovely week!
