Petra's song 'Take Me In' is a worship song that expresses a deep longing to enter into God's presence. The lyrics draw on Old Testament imagery of the tabernacle, moving past the outer courts and the brazen altar into the Holy of Holies. The singer desires to see God's face and be cleansed, referencing the coal touching Isaiah's lips. The song emphasizes approaching God through the blood of Jesus, the Lamb, and surrendering fully to Him.

Take me past the outer courts
Into the Holy place
Past the brazen altar
Lord I want to see Your face
Pass me by the crowds of people
The priests who sing Your praise
I hunger and thirst for Your righteousness
And it's only found one place
Take me in to the Holy of Holies
Take me in by the blood of the Lamb
Take me in to the Holy of Holies
Take the coal, cleanse my lips, here I am
Take the coal, cleanse my lips, here I am
