Hillsong United's song reflects on a personal journey from spiritual confusion to encountering God's love. The lyrics describe being lost until God's light breaks through, with the cross as the moment of revelation. The chorus expresses assurance of belonging and hope in unseen things, while the bridge affirms God's unfailing love. The song encourages waiting without fear and letting love take over completely.

Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

I was lost in a moment

A glimmer in time

Like a child chasing shadows

My back to the light

I was lost in a fog till

You caught my eye

Through the smoke and the mirrors 

A glimmer of life


CHORUS:

I know there's a place I belong 

Where I'll see the fullness of love 

A child face to face with my God 

Lost in Your awesome wonder 

While I wait I will not be afraid

My faith will remain all the same 

My hope in the things not yet seen 

Found in the greatest of these


VERSE 2:

I found love in a moment 

Exploding in light

At the cross where the curtains 

Were ripped from my eyes

I found heaven in pieces

In glimmer and dust

Broken glass in reflection

Till we shine like the sun


BRIDGE:

I know that You love me 

I know that You love me 

Your love never fails 

Your love never fails


When all?s said and done 

All that matters is love 

So let love take over

Not just in part

But in all that You are 

Let Your love take over
