Created To Worship
Rita Springer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I am your offering
I was created to worship you
There's nothing I could bring
That would mean more then this one thing
I was created to worship you.
You are all I have
You are all I am
All I am is you
Whatever you ask of me
There's no one I'd rather be
Then one created to worship you
In all that comes my way
Poverty fame or pain
I was created to worship you
Without you there's nothing Lord
Now and forevermore
I was created to worship you
In Rita Springer’s song “Created to Worship”, the artist shares her understanding of her purpose in life. The dynamics of this song are rooted in the theological premise that every human was created for the divine purpose of worship. Rita vocalizes her personal perception of dedicating her life to serving God. In the first verse, she explicitly states, “I am your sacrifice, I am your offering”. Rita chose to consecrate her being to accepting the will of God, offering her life as a gift “I was created to worship you”. Throughout the song, she acknowledges her insignificance in God’s presence, “there’s nothing I could bring, that would mean more than this one thing”. The artist believes that regardless of the position or state in which God places her, she will always be willing to do his will.
In the chorus, Rita emphasizes that God is the only reason for her existence, and she acknowledges that she was created to worship him fully. The theme of surrendering one's life to God is also highlighted when Rita recognizes that “Whatever you ask of me, there's no one I'd rather be”. Her devotion to God is so profound that she accepts whatever comes her way, which can be seen when she says, “in all that comes my way, poverty, fame or pain, I was created to worship you”. Rita survives because of her belief that serving God is her primary objective, and without him, her life would be meaningless. “Without you, there's nothing, Lord, now and forevermore, I was created to worship you”.
