There is a beautiful story behind The Heart of Worship of Matt Redman. The song was composed after realizing the purpose of our time of worship.
Today, our churches pursued to give the most beautiful music that we can give during worship service. But it has became more like a performance every Sunday for our worship teams.
This is not what God wants. God wants real worshipers whose heart and mind are only focused to Him worshiping Him in Spirit and in truth. While making good music is good to pursue, nonetheless, worshiping God in spirit and in truth is more important.
And this is what Heart of Worship is all about.

The Unquenchable Worshipper: Coming Back to the Heart of Worship By Matt Redman / Gospel Light
The Unquenchable Worshipper issues a passionate call for a return to a pure, first-love lifestyle of worship. In his first book release, respected worship leader and songwriter Matt Redman writes: “The revelation of God is the fuel for the fire of our worship. And there is always more fuel for the fire. When we open the eyes of our heart, God’s revelation comes flying at us from so many different angles.” Open the eyes of your heart and let the gut-level message of The Unquenchable Worshipper cause you, like martyred missionary Jim Elliot, to say, “Saturate me with the oil of Thy Spirit, that I may be aflame. Make me Thy fuel O flame of God.”
