27 Worship Quotes

In worship, God captures your heart; when he’s got it, then the real work begins. ― Matt Redman

When we lift our hands in praise and worship, we break spiritual jars of perfume over Jesus. The fragrance of our praise fills the whole earth and touches the heart of God. ― Dennis Ignatius

God is to be praised with the voice, and the heart should go therewith in holy exultation. ― Charles H. Spurgeon

The very heart of worship, as the Bible makes clear, is the business of expressing, from the depths of our spirits, the highest possible honor we can offer before God. ― R. C. Sproul

Our entire being is fashioned as an instrument of praise. Just as a master violin maker designs an instrument to produce maximum aesthetic results, so God tailor-made our bodies, souls and spirits to work together in consonance to produce pleasing expressions of praise and worship. When we use body language to express praise, that which is internal becomes visible. — Don McMinn

Worship must be – Christ centered, Holy Spirit led, a Response to the Father, about Intimacy and Service and always lead to Transformation! ― Tim Hughes

That is what worship is all about. It is the glad shout of praise that arises to God the creator and God the rescuer from the creation that recognizes its maker, the creation that acknowledges the triumph of Jesus the Lamb. That is the worship that is going on in heaven, in God’s dimension, all the time. The question we ought to be asking is how best we might join in. ― N. T. Wright

WORSHIP IS ACTION.
Worship is not lazy, boring and sad.
Worship is zealous, famous and joyful. ― Mac Canoza

True spiritual worship will cause God Almighty to come and sit with you, for He is enthroned in the midst of your praises — Joseph L. Garlington

Each time, before you intercede, be quiet first, and worship God in His glory. Think of what He can do, and how He delights to hear the prayers of His redeemed people. Think of your place and privilege in Christ, and expect great things! — Andrew Murray

Any man or woman on this earth who is bored or turned off by worship is not ready for Heaven. ― A.W. Tozer

Worship is love on its knees before the beloved; just as mission is love on its feet to serve the beloved. — N. T. Wright

I need to worship because without it I can forget that I have a Big God beside me and live in fear. I need to worship because without it I can forget his calling and begin to live in a spirit of self-preoccupation. I need to worship because without it I lose a sense of wonder and gratitude and plod through life with blinders on. I need worship because my natural tendency is toward self-reliance and stubborn independence. — John Ortberg

Don’t let life affect your worship; let your worship effect life. ― LaMar Boschman

Above all sing spiritually. Have an eye to God in every word you sing. Aim at pleasing Him more than yourself, or any other creature. In order to do this attend strictly to the sense of what you sing, and see that your heart is not carried away with the sound, but offered to God continually; so shall your singing be such as the Lord will approve here, and reward you when he cometh in the clouds of heaven. ― John Wesley

I desire only Him and to be wholly His. ― Brother Lawrence

Praise and worship is such a powerful device is able to dismantle every shackle and its able to breakdown every wall. ― Euginia Herlihy

 The true, the genuine worship is when man, through his spirit, attains to friendship and intimacy with God. True and genuine worship is not to come to a certain place; it is not to go through a certain ritual or liturgy; it is not even to bring certain gifts. True worship is when the spirit, the immortal and invisible part of man, speaks to and meets with God, who is immortal and invisible. — William Barclay

Songs of worship arise from a life of worship. ― Tim Hughes

Just when you think you have God cornered, the Living One has gone somewhere else. So you run after Him, and you find Him in a place you never expected, or you see His face in the poor. Our journey is one of life, and our worship is a living sacrifice before a living God. That is a life of simple devotion to Christ. -David Ruis

Worship changes the worshiper into the image of the One worshiped. — Jack W. Hayford

I can safely say, on the authority of all that is revealed in the Word of God, that any man or woman on this earth who is bored and turned off by worship is not ready for heaven. — A.W. Tozer

If your heart takes more pleasure in reading novels, or watching TV, or going to the movies, or talking to friends, rather than just sitting alone with God and embracing Him, sharing His cares and His burdens, weeping and rejoicing with Him, then how are you going to handle forever and ever in His presence? You’d be bored to tears in heaven, if you’re not ecstatic about God now! — Keith Green

If we truly worship God, acknowledging and adoring his infinite worth, we find ourselves impelled to make him known to others, in order that they may worship him too. Thus worship leads to witness, and witness in its turn to worship, in a perpetual circle. — John Stott

Worship doesn’t happen when a guy gets on a stage with a guitar. It happens when faith―filled eyes behold the glory of Christ ― Matt Pappa

If worship leaders only worship when they lead, they are not worshippers. They are mere musicians. ― Bill Johnson

 Worship is giving God the best that He has given you. Be careful what you do with the best you have. Whenever you get a blessing from God, give it back to Him as a love gift. Take time to meditate before God and offer the blessing back to Him in a deliberate act of worship. If you hoard a thing for yourself, it will turn into spiritual dry rot, as the manna did when it was hoarded. God will never let you hold a spiritual thing for yourself; it has to be given back to Him that He may make it a blessing to others. — Oswald Chambers
