| Creed's song, Higher, reads like a prayer from | | | | the reality of God's heavenly reign here on earth. To |
| someone who longs for God's kingdom. These lyrics | | | | some extent it is alive only in the minds of His |
| are from the heart of someone who has tasted God's | | | | enlightened ones, who have been taught by His Spirit. |
| goodness and yet must continue to live in this fallen | | | | This world is a combination of God's world and yet |
| world. | | | | also "another world." God allows his people to escape |
| Chorus: | | | | the futility of death that reigns over earth, but we still |
| "Can you take me higher? | | | | must live on earth for however long God dictates. We |
| To the place where blind men see | | | | can live at peace however, knowing that the purpose |
| Can you take me higher? | | | | of our everyday lives is grounded in eternal meaning |
| To the place with golden streets" | | | | because of Christ. |
| Refrain: | | | | There is a new thirst and hunger that God instills in His |
| "Up high I feel like I'm alive for the very first time | | | | people that only He can fulfill. It is a blessed, conscience |
| Up high I'm strong enough to take these dreams | | | | clearing hunger. It is the rightest, richest kind of hunger |
| And make them mine" | | | | there is. |
| God's people are waiting for something that has not | | | | Of course, the fact that Creed performed this song |
| yet arrived, and yet they are also experiencing heaven | | | | hundreds of times in front of all kinds of audiences is |
| right now. The fullness of God's Presence is something | | | | fantastic. Anyone who makes God's truth available in |
| much more real than a dream and yet, for | | | | such a subtle, savvy, sincere way is a spiritual genius. |
| expression's sake, this is a wonderful way to describe | | | | |
