Through the veil, we have come
You've paid the price, a sacrifice of flesh and blood
Hearts ablaze, drawing close
The holy place now invades the human soul
Wide awake, unashamed in Your light
By Your grace, boldly running to Your side
Captivated, oh, I am taken by everything You are
I wanna be closer and closer and closer to Your heart
I wanna be closer and closer and closer to Your heart
Hope is here, love has won
With burning hearts into Your arms, oh God, we run
All my life and all my days, holding nothing back
Giving all I am for Your great name
Wide awake, unashamed in Your light
By Your grace, boldly running to Your side
Captivated, oh, I am taken by everything You are
I wanna be closer and closer, closer to Your heart
I wanna be closer and closer, closer to Your heart
Yeah!
Closer to Your heart (Your heart)
Wide awake, wide awake, oh-oh
Ooh, ooh, oh, wide awake, oh, wide awake, oh, wide awake
Wide awake, unashamed in Your light
By Your grace, boldly running to Your side
Captivated, oh, I am taken by everything You are
I wanna be closer and closer, closer to Your heart
I wanna be closer and closer, closer to Your heart
To Your heart
