Lyrics
Verse 1
You may change everything we've ever desired
You may come in and consume us like a fire
But in our hearts
There is this one thing that we know
You’re the way to life where else can we go
Chorus:
We stand in wide eyed wonder
Here in this holy place
We humbly dare to ask for
More of Your glory
More of Your unveiled face
Verse 2
You may search us and reveal all of our idols
You may crumble all our pride down to its knees
But just one glimpse of You
Is worth more than our treasure
Overwhelming and outshining everything
Bridge
Holy holy
Lord God Almighty
(REPEAT)

Meaning & Inspiration
“Wide Eyed Wonder” presents worship as a response of surrender, awe, and longing for God’s presence. The lyrics acknowledge that encountering Him may overturn cherished desires, expose idols, and humble human pride. Yet that searching work is welcomed because even one glimpse of God is valued above every treasure. The request for more of His glory therefore sounds like a humble prayer shaped by wonder rather than a demand for an experience.
Several lines closely echo biblical worship. The confession that Christ is the way to life recalls Peter’s recognition that there is nowhere else to go, while “Holy, holy” reflects heavenly praise before the Lord Almighty. The song also shares the psalmist’s willingness to be searched by God. These themes support reflective corporate worship centered on holiness, surrender, and the transforming nearness of God.
