South African gospel artist Jaymusic Sarela has released two inspiring new singles: Worship is a Heart Thing and Living Sacrifice. These heartfelt songs echo a central truth—worship goes beyond music or outward expression; it begins with the posture of the heart.
“The inspiration behind these songs came from a deep desire to simplify the meaning of worship,” says Jaymusic. “While worship can be expressed in many ways, its true power lies in sincerity. God sees beyond our gestures—He looks at our intentions.” Drawing from Luke 6:45, Jaymusic reminds us that our actions and worship flow from the heart, which is the centre of our motives.
Worship is a Heart Thing emphasizes that we don’t need applause or dramatic displays for our worship to be valid. If it flows from a heart that understands God's love, it's enough. Living Sacrifice builds on that truth, declaring that the highest form of worship is a life fully surrendered to God—living for Him daily. These singles are a glimpse into the heart of an artist who has spent a decade shaping the sound of gospel music in South Africa.
