New Life Worship - Live to Worship Lyrics
Lyrics
Faithful One, You come to raise me up with You
Gracious Friend, again Your love has found no end
Who am I, that You would sacrifice
At Your majesty, I stand in awe
You are glorious, You are glorious
And I live to worship You, and I live to worship You
You're glorious
Reining King, you bring Your Kingdom down to me
Morning Star, You are this burning in my heart
Who am I, that You would sacrifice
At Your majesty, I stand in awe
You are glorious, You are glorious
And I live to worship You, and I live to worship You
You're glorious

New Life Worship - All to Him (Live) ft. Cory Asbury
Meaning & Inspiration
"Live to Worship" by New Life Worship stands as a profound declaration of purpose, a cornerstone of devotion articulated through powerful, Spirit-filled lyrics. While New Life Worship consistently offers anthemic worship, the specific release details provided for "All to Him (Live) ft. Cory Asbury" refer to a different track; nonetheless, "Live to Worship" embodies the collective heart of worship leaders, drawing listeners into an intimate and awe-filled encounter with the Divine. This song isn't merely a collection of verses and choruses; it's a testament to the believer's core identity, born from an overwhelming awareness of God's character and sacrifice.
The story behind this song's message unfolds through a journey of personal revelation, deeply rooted in biblical truth. It begins with an affirmation of God's unwavering nature, identifying Him as the "Faithful One" who consistently raises us up, a promise echoed in Psalm 145:14 where the Lord upholds those who fall and lifts up the bowed down. This faithfulness is immediately paired with His boundless grace, recognized in the tender address, "Gracious Friend, again Your love has found no end." Such an enduring, relentless love is a theme woven throughout Scripture, from the mercies new every morning in Lamentations 3:22-23 to the assurance in Romans 8:38-39 that nothing can separate us from God’s love. The lyrics then pivot to a posture of humility and wonder, posing the timeless question, "Who am I, that You would sacrifice?" This query instantly brings to mind the immense, undeserved grace extended through Christ's death on the cross, a love demonstrated while we were still sinners (Romans 5:8). Standing "At Your majesty, I stand in awe" perfectly encapsulates the response of any heart truly grasping the vastness of God’s glory and power, an awe similar to that experienced by the prophet Isaiah in the presence of the thrice-holy God (Isaiah 6:3) or the psalmist contemplating the heavens (Psalm 8:3-4). The chorus, the very heart of the song, becomes a definitive statement: "You are glorious, And I live to worship You." This isn't just an emotion; it’s a life's mission, a conscious choice to orient every facet of existence towards glorifying the One who saved us, echoing Paul's admonition to present our bodies as living sacrifices, our spiritual act of worship (Romans 12:1-2), and to do all for God's glory (1 Corinthians 10:31).
The second verse deepens this adoration by acknowledging God’s active dominion and illuminating His personal presence. He is hailed as "Reigning King," who powerfully "bring Your Kingdom down to me," a testament to the tangible reality of God’s rule breaking into our earthly lives, as we pray for His kingdom to come on earth as it is in heaven (Matthew 6:10). This isn’t a distant, abstract kingship, but one that actively permeates the believer's existence. The imagery of "Morning Star" beautifully points to Jesus Himself (Revelation 22:16), signifying hope, guidance, and the dawn of a new reality in Him. When the lyrics declare, "You are this burning in my heart," it speaks to an unquenchable passion, a divine fire that compels and motivates, much like Jeremiah's experience of God's word being a burning fire shut up in his bones (Jeremiah 20:9). The song then returns to the same foundational questions of identity and sacrifice, reinforcing the profound humility and awe that define the worshiper's stance before the divine. The repetition of the powerful chorus reinforces the central theme: God is glorious, and our very breath, our very being, finds its ultimate purpose and expression in Him. "Live to Worship" serves as a stirring call for believers to move beyond superficial acknowledgment and embrace a life wholly dedicated to honoring God, transforming daily existence into an ongoing act of worship, fueled by an understanding of His matchless glory and unceasing love. It's a song designed to not only be sung but to be lived.
