Brandon Heath's song 'Now More than Ever' expresses a deep, urgent longing for God's presence. The lyrics convey a sense of spiritual homesickness, as the singer feels like a stranger in a foreign land and confesses his brokenness. He desires God more intensely as he sees more of His beauty and feels His nearness, which makes the world fade away. The song includes a plea for hope and strength while waiting, and a commitment to keep his eyes open toward heaven. It's a heartfelt prayer of dependence and yearning for intimacy with God.

Dig my hands into the earth
Sometimes I need You so bad, it hurts
I want You now more than ever
I've been living in a foreign land
Confession of a broken man
I want You now more than ever
The more I see, the more I want
The more I know, it doesn't stop
Your beauty speaks to call me home
Now more than ever
The more I feel that You are here
The more the world disappears
And all I want is to be home
Now more than ever
So tell me something that I haven't heard
I'll be hanging on every word
I want You now more than ever
How long must You make me wait?
Give me hope, give me strength
I want You now more than ever
I will keep my eyes open
Keep my eyes open, face to the sky
I will keep my eyes open
Keep my eyes open for You
