The Glorious Unseen

Artist Spotlight: The Glorious Unseen

The Glorious Unseen began with a Sunday night Bible study… Disillusioned by the local church scene, a few former youth leaders and friends gathered on a spring Sunday night outside Nashville, TN. What took place ignited their hearts together… They came together to express their desire for God. They came together because they desired community. Their style of ministry was different… Not ever knowing what was going to happen, they continued to meet every Sunday night to pursue God – and to have Him pursue them. The worship that emerged from this group was simple, introspective, and vulnerable. When worship leader Ben Crist wrote his first song – he didn’t consider it a worship song… “I just wrote this cool song, but never thought it would be something we would play in worship. I thought maybe I’d have a side project where I’d play some of my own songs from time to time.” But when a few friends persuaded him to use the song during a worship set – the people were touched, and as he wrote more and more songs, the group gathered around them. The songs became their soundtrack. They became songs that brought them closer to God, and God closer to them… 

The Glorious Unseen – Hear Our Prays
God will you make us a people that love You.
Please take our offerings that we set before You.
God hear our prayers that we’re lifting up to You.
God see our tears that we’re struggling to see through.
God hear our prayers as we lift them to heaven.
We’re praying the angels receive and embrace them.
The hopes of the empty, the cries of the broken.
We’re reaching our hands out, oh Lord will You hold them?

The Glorious Unseen – Close To Your Heart
You look down from heaven and melt me with your gaze
Then you come down from heaven and wrap me in your wings
And it makes me feel loved again so close in your arms
And it makes me feel home again so close to your heart

The Glorious Unseen – Wrapped Up In You
Take me to the place where You are.
Where my burdens fall down at Your feet.
Where Your spirit comes to carry me.
Take me away where I can be near You.
Where the sun is bright and warms my face
where I feel alive in Your embrace.
God you’re all I’ll ever need.
To be with You,
Will You carry me away to Your secret and Your holy place?
Where I’m all wrapped up in You,
Wrapped up in Your arms.
God I’m wrapped up in Your arms
