Meaning & Inspiration
“To Worship You I Live” by Israel & New Breed is a quiet worship song about setting everything aside to be with God. The opening lines say “Away, away from the noise, alone with You,” and speak of going away to hear God’s voice and meet with Him. The image is of a private place of prayer, away from distraction.
The chorus gives the reason: “Nothing else matters, my one desire is to worship You, I live.” It treats worship as the purpose of life, not an occasional activity. That idea is close to Psalm 27:4, where the psalmist asks for one thing, to dwell in the Lord’s presence, and to John 4:24 on worship in spirit and truth.
The second verse adds an honest note: “It’s been a while, but hear my heart cry again.” The song is simple and repetitive, built to let a listener slow down and return to God.
