When the music fades
And all is stripped away
And I simply come
Longing just to bring
Something that's of worth
That will bless your heart
I'll bring You more than a song
For a song in itself
Is not what You have required
You search much deeper within
Through the ways things appear
You're looking into my heart
I'm coming back to the heart of worship
And it's all about You
All about You, Jesus
I'm sorry Lord for the thing I've made it
When it's all about You
It's all about You Jesus
King of endless worth
No one could express
How much You deserve
Though I'm weak and poor
All I have is Yours
Every single breath
I'll bring You more than just a song
For a song in itself
Is not what You have required
You search much deeper within
Through the way things appear
You're looking into my heart
I'm coming back to the heart of worship
And it's all about You
All about You, Jesus
I'm sorry Lord for the thing I've made it
When it's all about You
It's all about You Jesus
"The Heart Of Worship" by Matt Maher is a beautiful song that speaks to the core of what worship is truly about. It reminds us to strip away the distractions and focus on bringing something of worth to God, something that will bless His heart. The lyrics resonate with believers who long to have a genuine and intimate connection with God in their worship.
The song starts with the acknowledgment that sometimes the music fades and all that's left is our longing to come before God with something that truly matters. It's not just about singing songs, but about bringing our hearts and lives as an offering to Him. The song emphasizes that God is not interested in a performance or outward show, but in what is happening in our hearts.
Matt Maher expresses a deep desire to bring more than just a song to God. He recognizes that a song in itself is not what God requires of us. Instead, God searches deeper within us, beyond appearances, and into our hearts. He sees beyond the surface and looks for genuine worship that flows from a heart that is surrendered to Him.
The lyrics of "The Heart Of Worship" remind us of the story of King David in the Bible. David was known as a man after God's own heart, not because he was perfect, but because he had a genuine and intimate relationship with God. In Psalm 51:16-17, David writes, "You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it; you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings. My sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart you, God, will not despise." David understood that God desires a heart that is humble, repentant, and fully surrendered to Him.
The song also aligns with Jesus' teaching on worship in John 4:23-24. Jesus tells the Samaritan woman at the well, "Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth." This scripture emphasizes the importance of worshiping God in spirit and truth, with sincerity and authenticity.
"The Heart Of Worship" encourages us to examine our motives and priorities in worship. It challenges us to let go of any distractions or self-centeredness and turn our focus solely on God. It reminds us that worship is not about us, but about Him. It's about bringing Him glory and honoring Him with our whole being.
In conclusion, "The Heart Of Worship" by Matt Maher is a powerful song that calls us to a deeper level of worship. It challenges us to evaluate our hearts and motives, and to surrender ourselves fully to God. It reminds us that worship is not about performance or outward show, but about bringing our authentic selves before God. It aligns with the scriptures that emphasize the importance of worshiping God in spirit and truth. May this song inspire us to worship God with all that we are and bring Him the glory He deserves.
