People who do not listen to worship music assume that all the songs can refer about God in some way. For the most part they are right, there are a couple songs that straight up mention God in the lyrics, but not all of them have that. Some of them have just a positive statement that makes them hit a person harder than a lot of other music.
Brandon Heath's song, Give me your eyes, (Found here) talks about have you ever though about just looking at someone with a smile in your heart, and not a ticked off look like a lot of people do, and show them that people do have a heart and not a cold outside that we always see. It is not that difficult, I believe to go and help a person who is down, or they just dropped something and everyone else is walking right past without noticing, if anything, that makes me mad because what did that person do to deserve that from the start.
The Motions by Matthew West (Found here) is a little more specific on that God is the only one who can help. How many people go through life doing the same things, get up from bed, go to work, go home, eat dinner, sleep, and never think of anything more than that. The song is asking to help us get out of that idea and become more trusting and letting other things come in to affect our "comfort zone".
Now Hillsong Untied's song, What the World will never take (Found here) is referring to that the world can take away almost everything except one thing, Jesus. Throughout the song, the lyrics just speak that because of the love that He has for us, no matter how much the world tries, Jesus will always be there to give us strength when we are down, because that is what He does.
Another Hillsong favorite, Break Free (Found here) is amazing that it is just saying to "Break free" from the stuff that causes you to do stuff that is not what you normally do. The lines where it says "to get up and dance" does not mean to do the bad dancing, dancing is a form of worship and should be what is respectable to Him. I have been to clubs where the other type of dancing is going on, and I can say, its disgusting, our bodies are not something to be used like that, and come on, it should never be used like that.
In the end, if you want something that does not have swearing, has a positive meaning, and something that is easy, worship music is where it is.
