Lyrics
Verse
Down at Your feet, O Lord
Is the most high place
In Your presence, Lord
We seek Your face
We seek Your face
Chorus
There is no higher calling,
No greater honor
Than to bow
And kneel before Your throne
I'm amazed at Your glory,
Embraced by Your mercy
O Lord
I live to worship You

Meaning & Inspiration
No Higher Calling is a short worship song that finds the greatest honor in kneeling before God. The opening lines say that down at His feet is the most high place and that in His presence the singer seeks His face, repeating the last phrase as a quiet prayer. The second part then declares that there is no higher calling and no greater honor than to bow and kneel before His throne.
The closing lines say that the singer is amazed at His glory, embraced by His mercy, and lives to worship Him. The themes follow Psalm 27:8 on seeking His face, Psalm 95:6 on bowing and kneeling before the Lord, and Psalm 84:10 on a day in His courts being better than a thousand elsewhere. The slow pace, simple repetition and humble wording make it a suitable song for a quiet moment in a service, and its tone is reverent, devoted and focused on the privilege of being in God's presence rather than on any request.
