Heart of Worship, Various Artists

I remember them talking about this song on the radio once. The story still lingers with me, even to this day. The song was born from a moment where a church had lost its focus in worship. They had the lights, the musical instruments, and all of the gadgets to put on a good show. That's exactly what they were doing though. They were merely putting on a show. Somehow, they had lost their original focus and made it about all of the extra things, but not about God or the connection we have with God through our worship. They took away the extra stuff and just started to sing a cappella. It was them and God. Just as it should be.

Life always gives us "extras." We always have something to do, something to look at, something to put our time and energy in to. Somehow, we train ourselves to think that we can't focus on God until ABC gets done. Or even during our worship time with Him, we think about all of the things that we still have to do. We lose the closeness to Him and have an empty session where we don't draw nearer to our Lord. We stay exactly where we are. We have to leave all of the "extras" at the door. It's hard to do, but it's what we need to do if we want to grow in Christ.

Heart of Worship: Various Artists


When the music fades
All is stripped away
And I simply come
Longing just to bring
Something that's of worth
That will bless Your heart

Bridge:
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 way things appear
You're looking into my heart

Chorus:
I'm coming back to the heart of worship
And it's all about You,
It's 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

Verse 2:
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

Bridge:
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 way things appear
You're looking into my heart

Chorus:
I'm coming back to the heart of worship
And it's all about You,
It's all about You, Jesus
I'm sorry, Lord, for the thing I've made it
And it's all about You,
It's all about You, Jesus

Chorus:
I'm coming back to the heart of worship,
And it's all about You,
It's 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
