The Heart of Worship
Matt Redman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All is stripped away
And I simply come
Longin' just to bring
Something that's of worth
That will bless Your heart
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 comin' 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
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
You're looking into my heart, yeah
I'm comin' 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
I'm comin' back to the heart of worship
'Cause it's all about You
It's all about You, Jesus
I'm sorry, Lord, for the thing I've made it
'Cause it's all about You
It's all about You, Jesus, yeah
All about You
I'll bring You more than a song
I'll bring You more than a song, more than a song
I'll bring You more than a song
I'll bring You more than a song (than a song)
You're looking into my heart
You're looking into my heart
You're looking into my heart
Into my heart
I'll bring You more than a song
I'll bring You more than a song, yeah, yeah
I'll bring You more than a song
I'll bring You more than a song
The Heart of Worship by Matt Redman is a song about the essence of worship. The first verse sets the tone for the rest of the song, and it talks about how when the music fades and everything is stripped away, a person simply comes to the Lord in worship, bringing something of worth that will bless His heart. Redman highlights the fact that worship is not just about singing a song, but it's about bringing an offering to God that is of worth to Him. He acknowledges that though a song is a beautiful expression of worship, it is not what God requires of His people. God searches much deeper within a person, looking into their hearts to see if their worship is authentic.
The pre-chorus and chorus of the song reiterate the point that worship is all about God. Redman expresses his regret for the things he has made worship to be in the past, acknowledging that it's all about Jesus, who is the King of endless worth. Every breath belongs to Him, and he vows to bring more than a song in worship, something that is of worth to God.
In summary, this song teaches that worship is not only about the musical aspect of it, but it's about truly bringing an offering of worth to God. It's about acknowledging that God looks into our hearts to see if what we offer to Him is authentic and pleasing to Him. Worship should always be all about Jesus, who deserves our worship and praise.

Oh how much we need this in 2021 !!!
Does our Lord Jesus say to His Church today - You have left your first love ! ?
Will He vomit them out of His mouth?
Let's get back to our first love.
edit - back again in 2024 - and now its worse -
it breaks my heart to see our nation descend into the chaos and madness of ungodliness..
come back to Jesus....come back
...faithful ones hold on tight - endure to the end - we will be saved.

Trivia (please read): Matt Redman, a worship leader in England, tells how this Pastor taught his church the real meaning of worship. To show that worship is more than music, he banned all singing in their services for a period of time while they learned to worship in other ways.
By the end of that time, Matt had written the classing song "Heart of worship".
I'll bring you more than a song,
For a song itself
Is not what You have required.
You search much deeper within,
Through the way things appear,
You're looking into my heart.

This one of my hits into my life today... I thinking about what’s Jesus really care in the everyone and when I falling in the traps, he is always saving my life. He knows my through in the painful, suffering, hard to get back to him. My heart have been so lonely and need to someone who will come into my heart. I’ll fight through the battle every time because of evil can be a ruin their life. But I believe that Jesus will protect and take out my darkness.
Please reading,
Isaiah 41:10
“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
Matt, thank you for your song for Jesus

@myLORDishesedtome
Psalm 46:10 God wants all of us to take a deep breath when our world seems to be crashing down. Consider that He is God: meditate on the fact you and your daughter belong to the Heavenly Father. He is near to comfort and to help. Be still be calm for a minute at a time consider Psalm 55:22; 1 Peter 5:8 Trust that 5:22 word put on flesh and dwelt among us that is Jesus read his word and believe it. God will never fail.
Lord thank you for loving with an everlasting love. Grant them hope and understanding of your Word. I ask that you send servants/christians who represent you oh Lord Jesus I pray. May every single need be met. Draw them closer to you than ever before. I bind in your name Jesus the enemy of her soul preventing the daughter’s heart from being open to a dad better than anything on earth. You are available 24/7 Jesus Jesus In your name thank you; praise God for Ephesians 3:20: please finished this prayer after what’s written: you will do exceedingly, abundantly more than we can ask you for or even think of. We bless your holy name. Amen
