[Verse 1]
Invisible, yet tangible
Childlike and simple
Limitless, heaven thinks like this
Oh this is the kingdom realm
Now I feel heaven close
I can hear You calling
Come up here, the door is standing open
Come up here, just let go of all the weight
When you're up here, there's no chaos or confusion
It is clear, so come up here
Hey yeah
Higher thoughts, higher ways
Not by sight, only by faith
Your Word it leads and Your Spirit guides
Oh I was born for this kingdom realm
So quiet all the noise
Listen, you can hear Him
[Chorus]
So come up here, the door is standing open
Come up here, just let go of all the weight
When you're up here, there's no chaos or confusion
It is clear, so come up here
[Verse 2]
Hey
What water am I walkin' on and what's my sea to part
If faith can move my mountains, oh let faith now fill my heart
'Cause the kingdom it is coming and yet it's here right now
So I'll close my eyes and lift my sights on heaven all around
It's all around
It's all around
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
[Chorus]
So come up here, the door is standing open
Come up here, just let go of all the weight
When you're up here, there's no chaos or confusion
It is clear, so come up here
[Verse 3]
Woo-ooh-ooh
Woo-ooh-ooh
Come Up Here
Song Meaning
Bethel Music and Jenn Johnson describe an entirely different way of perceiving in "Come Up Here" — "invisible, yet tangible, childlike and simple... higher thoughts, higher ways, not by sight, only by faith." The kingdom being described isn't distant or future; it's framed as a different vantage point available right now, one the song keeps inviting the listener to move toward rather than wait for.
"Come up here, just let go of all the weight... when you're up here, there's no chaos or confusion" ties elevation directly to release, suggesting the confusion isn't solved by explanation but by a change in position. "What water am I walkin' on and what's my sea to part" borrows Peter's moment stepping out of the boat, treating faith as something that creates its own ground to stand on rather than requiring solid ground first.
"The kingdom it is coming and yet it's here right now" holds both tenses at once without resolving the tension, closing the song on "it's all around" as an ongoing, present reality rather than a future arrival still being awaited.
