Point of Grace - Live to Worship Lyrics
Lyrics
A simple offering is all that we bring
We give our lives, claim you as King
We are Your servants and before
You we bow
With every breath we make this vow
Chorus
We will live to worship, give You praise
With all our hearts for all our days
Father we want to do what You
created us to
We will live to worship You
Our every moment is a gift of
Your grace
We are all Yours, now and always
More than just words, o Lord
the cry of our hearts
Is to let our lives speak of how
great you are
Chorus
You are worthy, You are holy
You alone are deserving
You are holy, You are worthy
You alone are deserving

Live to worship - Point Of Grace
Meaning & Inspiration
Point of Grace’s "Live to Worship," released on January 23, 2011, stands as a powerful declaration of purpose and devotion within contemporary Christian music. The song’s message is an unwavering commitment to God, articulating a profound understanding that human existence finds its ultimate meaning in adoration and service to the Creator. It moves beyond a mere song to become a personal covenant, a statement of intent to dedicate every facet of one's life to glorifying God, rooted in the foundational belief that worship is not just an activity but the very essence of why humanity was made.
The lyrics open with "A simple offering is all that we bring, We give our lives, claim you as King," immediately setting a tone of surrender and recognition of divine sovereignty. This echoes the New Testament call in Romans 12:1 to "present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship." It’s an embrace of a spiritual reality where our very being, not just our words or specific actions, becomes an act of devotion. By claiming God as King, the song aligns with numerous psalms proclaiming His reign over all creation, such as Psalm 24:1, affirming that "The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it." This isn't merely a verbal assent but a lifestyle transformation, a complete yielding of control and aspirations to His divine will. The song further emphasizes servanthood, stating "We are Your servants and before You we bow," which directly connects to the biblical theme of humble submission, reflecting passages like Philippians 2:5-8, where Christ Himself exemplified servanthood.
The core of the song, "We will live to worship, give You praise, With all our hearts for all our days," is a solemn vow, a promise to God that resounds with biblical injunctions for wholehearted devotion. Deuteronomy 6:5 commands, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might," a commandment Jesus reaffirmed as the greatest in Mark 12:30. This isn't a fleeting emotion but an enduring commitment, reflecting Psalm 34:1, "I will bless the Lord at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth." The phrase "Father we want to do what You created us to" cuts straight to the theological understanding of humanity's purpose. Scripture reveals that we were created for God's glory, as Isaiah 43:7 declares, "everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made." This central theme anchors the song in a profound sense of divine design and destiny.
The acknowledgement that "Our every moment is a gift of Your grace" fosters a spirit of gratitude, recognizing God's unmerited favor in every breath and experience. This perspective aligns with Lamentations 3:22-23, which speaks of God’s mercies being "new every morning," and Ephesians 2:8-9, which states that salvation itself is "by grace you have been saved through faith... not a result of works, so that no one may boast." This continuous flow of grace calls for a continuous response of gratitude. The song clarifies that this worship is "More than just words," rather "the cry of our hearts Is to let our lives speak of how great you are." This is a powerful distinction, echoing Matthew 15:8, where Jesus critiques those who honor Him with their lips while their hearts are far away. True worship, as articulated here, is demonstrated through the integrity of one's actions and character, allowing one's life to be a testament to God's greatness, much like Matthew 5:16 encourages, "Let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven."
The bridge, with its repeated affirmation "You are worthy, You are holy, You alone are deserving," acts as the ultimate justification for this unwavering commitment. It is a direct reflection of heavenly worship described in Revelation 4:8, where the four living creatures continually declare, "Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!" This declaration acknowledges God’s intrinsic attributes – His absolute purity, moral perfection, and incomparable worth – which naturally draw forth praise and adoration. This emphasis on God’s exclusive deserving nature reinforces that all glory belongs to Him, as 1 Chronicles 16:25 states, "For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised, and he is to be feared above all gods." "Live to Worship" by Point of Grace is far more than a catchy tune; it is a theological statement, a personal prayer, and a collective anthem, inspiring individuals to embrace their divinely ordained purpose of wholehearted, lifelong worship, making every breath a testament to God's glory.
