Matt Redman, a songwriter from England, penned "The Heart of Worship" in his bedroom in the late 1990s. Redman was inspired to write the song after his church's pastor decided to get rid of the praise band for a time because the congregants had lost the true meaning of worship, states a Crosswalk.com article. According to Redman, the song is a simple look at the true meaning of worship. It has been recorded by popular Christian artists Michael W. Smith, Sonic Flood and Passion.
