Shekinah Glory - Unquenchable Worshipper Lyrics
Lyrics
As in the temple where they offered praise
Giving thanks both night and day
I hope I live to see the time that we
Offer praise continually
Maybe you're waiting to feel his presence
But I rush in
I never tire
Of worshipping Him
He is the air I breathe
The wind beneath my winds
(repeat)
My heart and sprit sings
Unquenchable
Worshipper
I am, I am
Can't get enough
Of your love
I am
Unquenchable

Unquenchable Worshipper - Shekinah Glory Ministry (Throwback!)
Meaning & Inspiration
Shekinah Glory's "Unquenchable Worshipper," released on December 7, 2004, from their album "Live," immediately establishes itself not just as a song, but as a profound declaration of unwavering devotion. This powerful track delves into the very essence of spiritual longing, articulating a deep yearning to experience and express perpetual praise, transcending mere religious ritual to become an identity. It calls believers to a state of continuous adoration, reflecting a heart utterly consumed by the divine.
The song opens by evoking imagery of ancient temple worship, where "they offered praise, Giving thanks both night and day." This echoes the ceaseless devotion described in biblical accounts, such as the Levitical priests and psalmists who maintained a constant stream of worship and intercession before the Lord (Psalm 134:1-2, 1 Chronicles 23:30). The worshiper’s aspiration, "I hope I live to see the time that we Offer praise continually," is a powerful alignment with the biblical mandate to "pray without ceasing" (1 Thessalonians 5:17) and the prophetic vision of ceaseless praise in the heavenly courts (Revelation 4:8). It’s a yearning for worship not as an event, but as an unbroken lifestyle.
Transitioning from aspiration to active engagement, the song challenges the notion of passive waiting for a spiritual feeling, stating, "Maybe you're waiting to feel his presence, But I rush in." This line is a bold affirmation of proactive faith, a refusal to let circumstances or emotions dictate one's approach to God. It speaks to the confidence granted through Christ's sacrifice, allowing believers to "draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith" into the Holy Presence (Hebrews 10:19-22). The declaration, "I never tire, Of worshipping Him," is a testament to the transformative power of divine love, which renews strength and eradicates spiritual weariness, much like those who "wait on the Lord shall renew their strength" (Isaiah 40:31).
The song then deepens its expression of dependence and adoration with striking metaphors: "He is the air I breathe, The wind beneath my wings." These aren't just poetic flourishes; they encapsulate a theological truth. Just as air is essential for physical life, God is the very sustenance of the spirit, embodying the truth that "in Him we live and move and have our being" (Acts 17:28). "The wind beneath my wings" speaks to divine empowerment, the unseen force that enables elevation, purpose, and spiritual flight, reminding us that it is by His Spirit we are strengthened for every good work. This complete reliance naturally overflows into a deep, internal resonance, where "My heart and spirit sings," signifying a worship that originates from the innermost being, pure and unbidden, as exhorted in Psalm 103:1 to "bless the Lord, O my soul."
The climax arrives with the definitive self-identification: "Unquenchable Worshipper I am, I am, Can't get enough Of your love I am Unquenchable." To be "unquenchable" means an unceasing, unyielding fire—a thirst that can never be fully satisfied, yet is constantly nourished by the source. This resonates with the psalmist's cry, "As a deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God" (Psalm 42:1-2). It’s an identity forged in an insatiable desire for God's presence and an endless capacity for His love, a love that, once tasted, makes all other desires pale. It is the declaration of a life poured out in continuous devotion, reflecting a believer who has encountered the living water that promises, "whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst" (John 4:14), yet paradoxically yearns for more of the Giver Himself. This song is a profound invitation to embrace a life where worship is not an act, but the very essence of who we are—an eternal flame burning brightly for the Almighty.
