“Revealed” is about the worship value of intimacy.

God self reveals Himself to us by the Word and through the Holy Spirit. He allows himself to become vulnerable to us, vulnerable to be rejected and hurt. He reveals to us, how much He loves us and desires us to have relationship with Him, to be His bride and to be with Him forever.

God already knows everything about us. He knit us together! I believe it pleases Him when we consciously and willingly choose to unconceal ourselves to Him. As He is self-revealing to us, we should be abandoned in unveiling ourselves to Him. It makes us vulnerable and displays the trust of the Bride towards the Groom. Nothing held back, a complete knowing of each other. Intimacy is beholding each other, unveiled, unhidden, face to face.

Verse 1 speaks of the encounter with God. He overcomes our fear and the effects of sin by offering up Himself on the cross, reaching His hands out on the cross and reaching to us.

Verse 2 talks of our awakening and receiving New LIfe because of Jesus’ work on the cross. Our response to His love and His gift of new life is to receive Him with open arms, symbolizing both invitation and our willingness, as the Bride, to give ourselves for the Bridegroom.

The chorus is the invitation to the Lord, for Him to come know the depth and height of us, symbolizing both the breadth of who we are and also a sharing of our sadness and joy. Our heart’s secret doors, where the real us is hidden, are flung open wide to God and nothing held back. We are completely revealed, unveiled and unhidden before the Lord. The chorus is also declaration of our complete trust in God.

Revealed

Chorus:
Come and know me, Lord
Know my deepest seas.
Holy Spirit search the heights of me
My heart’s secret doors,
Flung open wide,
I’m revealed, unveiled,
Unhidden for you, Lord.

Verse 1:
You showed Your love to me.
I was ashamed and afraid.
You offered up Yourself.
Reaching Your hands out for me.

Verse 2:
You birthed New Life in me.
Awakening love, pure and true.
I open up my arms.
And offer myself all to You
