The Heart Of Worship
Maranatha! Music Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And all has slipped away
And I simply come.
Longing just to be
Something that′s of worth
That will bless Your heart.
I'll bring You more than a song,
Is not what You have required.
You search much deeper within,
Through the way things appear,
Your looking into my heart.
I′m coming back to the heart of worship
And its all about You, its all about You, Jesus.
I'm sorry, Lord, for the thing I've made it
When its all about You, its 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 a song,
For a song in itself
Is not what You have required.
You search much deeper within,
Through the way things appear,
Your looking into my heart.
I'm coming back to the heart of worship
And its all about You, its all about You, Jesus.
I′m sorry, Lord, for the thing I've made it
When its all about You, its all about You, Jesus.

When the music fades
As the sound of the instruments dies down
And all has slipped away
And everything that used to matter has slipped away
And I simply come
I come before You devoid of preconceived notions
Longing just to be
Yearning to exist in Your presence without pretense
Something that′s of worth
Something that has meaning and relevance to You
That will bless Your heart.
That will bring joy and pleasure to Your heart
I'll bring You more than a song,
I will present more than just music
For a song in itself
Since music on its own
Is not what You have required.
Does not satisfy Your requirement
You search much deeper within,
You examine my innermost being
Through the way things appear,
Without getting caught up by surface-level expressions
Your looking into my heart.
You are probing the depths of my heart
I′m coming back to the heart of worship
I am returning to the essence of true worship
And its all about You, its all about You, Jesus.
Because it is all for You and about You, Jesus
I'm sorry, Lord, for the thing I've made it
I confess, Lord, that I turned it into something else
When its all about You, its all about You, Jesus.
When it is completely devoted to You, Jesus
King of endless worth,
Eternal treasure of all value
No one could express
Seems impossible to express
How much you deserve.
How much You are worthy of
Though I′m weak and poor,
Despite my frailty and poverty
All I have is Yours,
Everything I have belongs to You
Every single breath!
Even every breath I take is a gift from You
