The Glorious Unseen - "Close To Your Heart"

[Eleven118]

love this song

[tigerdaisy23]

Religion kills. Jesus Saves.

[MetalxHead36]

@tigerdaisy23 couldnt agree more my friend. Jesus didnt come to Earth toe establish a religion, He came to Establish the Truth

[TheSuburbiaRuins]

@tigerdaisy23 I have a shirt that says that.

[bunnykite13]

God is real. You do feel him cause its a feeling that most people cant describe in words. Its that feeling that your safe. That your gonna be fine when everything, really, is in chaos. He gives you that. That feeling that you would have to experience yourself to believe. And just because you cant see him doesnt mean he isnt real. We believe by faith not by sight and many people have different gods in this life but this is my god. The one who will be with me til the end. Forever and Always. :]

[magiclovefillmeup]

@bunnykite13 is it god who gives you that feeling or, is it the chemical in your brain that ultimately creates that... Or are you saying God is MAGIC?

[Shigglezworth]

@magiclovefillmeup That is actually a good question. Some say it is God, some say it is a chemical and some say it isboth. But, it doesn't matter. Even if it were just a chemical, it is still a gift from God. /// To say He is magic is blasphemy since the Bible says magic and witchcraft are of the devil. And no, magic tricks and magic are not the same thing. He is much better than magic. He is our Creator, our Father and our friend.

[StayGoldHC]

@magiclovefillmeup

theres no chemical that could come externally in my life everyday.. Its hard to explain man, God is so real. So much more real than anything or anyone. If you don't believe thats fine, i've got no agenda. But being close to God.. man.. its unbelievable. What ever it is, i hope every last person gets to feel it before they die. Its the only time i've ever been alive

[UnwrittenLCatcher]

Hey! I know this is not the best place to do this but kinda looking for a true christian friend. Where I live isn't the best place to make any! If anyone wants a really good friend please add me! I'll try to help change your life!

[lalis826]

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

[lillamb271]

Does anyone have an idea of what this song means? Im trying to write a skit for my chruch drama department and I was trying to use this song as a source. Please help me?=)

[Chris187]

@lillamb271 well it could mean no matter what we do in life Gods always gonna loves for who we are. The horrible wretched beings we are. He always has his hand out for us even when we turn our backs to him. But when we do accept him back we feel loved again. In his arms. In his heart. It makes us feel home again. :]

[North0house]

I first heard this song years ago... Since then, my life has changed drastically, as in it's not even remotely similar to what it was anymore. I was sick for a year, my brother was sick for two, I thought he'd die... And I figured I'd have a miserable life of constant pain... But that passed by miracle. I went from being a Christian to being a Messianic Jew, and now I live on a farm... Though throughout all of this change, G-d's always been there for me.

[parkerball35]

If seeing is believing then the blind have faith in nothing.

[breathingdude]

Why do people make theological arguements on videos like this. Can't you all just respect each other's beliefs. This is not a video made to argue if God exsists or not, it's a music video. Just enjoy the song and video for what it is. I don't understand why can't people spend more time with things they enjoy and agree with than obsessing over things they disagree with.

[Stuartish17]

@breathingdude jesus didn't come to bring peace. he came to divide ad cause chaos. in chaos we find truth. the truth is Christ. peace would only bring conformist beliefs."if what is true for you must also be true for me, what if my truth says your's is a lie? is it still true?"-lacrae

[breathingdude]

@Stuartish17 when I meant respect each other's beliefs, I meant more like not going to a worship song video and comment God doesn't exist, there are plenty of debating videos on youtube for that kind of comments. This is like going to a soccer game and throw a basketball into the pitch and yell soccer sucks. I would never agree with any atheist. I respect them as people and don't go attack them in their space, but they start arugments on christian worship videos, which I thought is unnecessary.

[Stuartish17]

@breathingdude alright man i agree with that. it just fires me up when people do stuff like that

[BradWest96]

News flash: God isn't real.

[kobythefranz]

@BradWest96 how do you know? He you tried to meet to HIM?

[kobythefranz]

@BradWest96 Yes He is I know Him. Just because you have heard of Him and have made your conclusion doesn't mean He is not real. And if you are so sure, have you met Him?

[BradWest96]

@kobythefranz I don't know if you're being serious or not, and I'm not going to argue with you on YouTube, but I'll respond to you this one time and I'll let you be. So, you know God, do you? Which God? The Christian God? Buddha? Any of the several Hindu gods? Surely you cannot know them all, huh? If there are so many of these gods, then how can anyone be so sure (like you are) that they all exist? What do you mean by "know Him"? You've talked to God? Does God talk back?

[BradWest96]

@kobythefranz @kobythefranz You've felt God? Does He feel you back? Let me ask you something else. Where is God? Is He "everywhere" like most religions will say? If He's "everywhere," why can't I see Him? You can't see God, can you? No. Is He invisible, then? If He's invisible, how do we know He is real? Well, the answer to that one is simple. We DON'T know if God is real, and I choose to believe that He is not, simply because it all seems like utter bullshit to me.

[Stuartish17]

@BradWest96 invisible? light is invisible but do you believe in it? what about air? if you said that didn't believe in either of those you would sound crazy so why do you proceed to discourage others in their beliefs? there is only one true God. read John 1:1-4. God IS everywhere. he holds the universe in the span of one hand. if you do "simply choose" to discount the Word of MY God, the one true God, don't tell us because those who seek to worship don't want to read your lack of fact rants.

[BradWest96]

@kobythefranz Whether or not you choose to have faith (faith, by the way, meaning "BELIEF IN SOMETHING THAT CANNOT BE PROVEN") in this bullshit is not my business. Continue believing whatever you want, man. Feel free to respond to any of my questions, too, although I'll make like God and l not respond to any of your questions or statements.

[cpatterful]

@ImmortalConcept That might be a reference to Matt 23:37 where Jesus said He longed to comfort Jerusalem as " a hen gathers her chicks under her wings" but they were unwilling.

[1998phillip]

Know every one of them

[monkeyplayer101]

this song is amazing, shows me that god is always with me no matter what and truely how perfectly indescribable his love is

[snoep25]

Heard this song today for the first time and I just thought of how much GOD loves us. A love that we could never comprehend. He loved us before we even knew him, loves us in the state we are and will forever love us. So much so ,that even the prodigal sons and daughters can hear a song like this and make them think of their first love with our saviour.

I cannot thank him enough.

[YURIVILLA]

Amazing song! =)

[LearningHowToDieband]

great song

[camigoldenpiano]

pleeeeease, I wanna play it on the piano. how can I get the notes? REALLY AMAZING SONG!

[sniper4eden]

@camigoldenpiano simple chords are F G Am C. over and over and over.....

[Joshnchristin]

@sniper4eden what are the complex chords then?

[sniper4eden]

@Joshnchristin haha sorry i didnt reply. i just got back from a 3 week trip to Mozambique, i left the day you posted. Sarcasm? if not, complex chords would involve some different bass note voicing, and some different inversions

[Joshnchristin]

@sniper4eden oh thanks no sarcasm i was just genuinly curious. i dont think i spelt that right but oh well. do you know where i could learn the keyboard for this song? like lessons or tutorials or something

[andrewgsupbrah]

someone said theyre not christian???

they're a ministry band??!?!

and theyre AMAZINGGGGGG

[EnduringForTheKing]

They are Christian. They came to a church by my house about 4 months ago. They glorified the Father and Son and gave testimony.

[xsh3ldonxppc]

I have to agree I love sleeping giant, oh sleeper, haste the day for today saving grace and a lot more then the glorious unseen, just amazing worship makes me cry everytime i listen to this music, this dude has an amazing heart for God. It takes strength to be a true Christian these days a kind of strength that is God given. Bless this man for furthering the kingdom of God :)

[megsy51]

ball bag.

[xsh3ldonxppc]

@megsy51 ball bag???

[nakiommi]

This song's so beautiful, I love this band!

[fkfk123]

God give us all hope. Even though we have a very crisis life now, faith in God is one of the most important thing to do.. just have faith and everything will be ok. Never ever loose faith in God.

[MrReaper4993]

this song makes my heart warm haha how glorious is our God . . . . its awesome to know tht i have someone so loving as him

[CalemRahl]

The Glorious Unseen is a Christian rock/contemporary worship band from Nashville, Tennessee. Before signing with Tooth & Nail Records, lead vocalist Ben Crist wrote and played many of the band's songs in his home church, The Anchor Fellowship. The band released their first album, Tonight the Stars Speak, in 2007. Crist got his start in the music industry by performing in the worship band at the Atlanta Vineyard. And plenty more info like this online so before you accuse, RESEARCH!

[y0uliana]

You guys really have no idea what you are talking about.

[bleed4me2]

And you can't just say you believe in God and Christ, because even the demons believe in God. Thi band is the greatest, only downfall is that they are actually a new age band. They aren't listed as christian. there is a difference.

[Xevamir]

They are on Tooth and Nail records, a Christian label.

I'm pretty sure they are a Christian band, lots of bigger bands listen to them for worship.

[bleed4me2]

they are a new age band. Thats what they label themselves as, just because they are tooth and nail doesn't mean they aren't new age. They worship god, they never specify The God, so it could be any god.

[gothgirl16]

well I just saw them in october at the unified underground conference, which is a CHRISTIAN conference. ask them yourself on line, they are christians

[DevotedToChrist]

was someone actually saying they aren't? that has to be one of the silliest things i honestly have ever heard

[gothgirl16]

yep! someone said they are "new age"!

[odisius187]

I TOTALY AGREE! im not a christian but ive been in the church long enuff to know alot bout christian bands. This is defnitley Praise & Worship. Respect & Kudos to any Christian becuz it takes a strong individual.

[awesomepolarity]

wow... this band is amazing. And this is the first time I've listened to them. I love this song. God speaks so clearly through this. Great meaning too.

[rlycoolguy]

This song makes wanna bow on my knees and pray :P God is amazing..There is no words that can describe how great he truly is..(:

[Rocker5777]

God is awesome..just how much mercy He has when I slip up..He is the greatest friend anyone could have..

[felipee911]

So close to your heart, God.

[sniper4eden]

This is a perfect example of how powerful and amazing our loving God really is. This is so awesome.

[insanomanweirdchris]

those guys are amazing i met them. they came to my church and i got their cd signed. Ben C. has an amazing voice

[RickiSanchez]

his voice is putting me to sleep, but its a good song, i'm happy for him.

[dtoastv]

saw them yesterday!!

such a blessing

soo moving :)

[drblackbean]

AWSOME!! songg xD

[gibsonsg1090]

I am christian i go to church every day my elders have date to gather but not religious, Im just doing the right thing. . . .I follow wat the word teaches me. . . .

[sophie1255]

Just because you go to church does not mean that you're a christian. What being a christian means is that you believe that Jesus is Gods son, and that he came to earth as a man and died for your sins. And rose from the dead 3 days later. It also means that you have a relationship with God.

[headbanghoua]

hey tooth and nail: I love ur christian rock bands.

[pennybutter2]

Im not Christian what so ever! organised religion scares me...but i respect other peoples belives and i actually like this song :)

[keylee029]

Being a Christian isnt what matters. what matters is the relationship between a person and God.

[kyleotto44]

Be careful though. Many would be led to believe the lie that one can have a relationship with God apart from Jesus Christ.

If you do not know, love, and desire Jesus Christ, be assured you do NOT have a relationship with God and you remain under God's just wrath. Repent of your sins and believe upon Jesus Christ.

"Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father; the one who confesses the Son has the Father also." -1 John 2:23

[keylee029]

thats so very true!

[madman3247]

well said my friend :)

[xsh3ldonxppc]

Yes but that relationship can only come when you have desire for his Son.

[PassionForHisWord]

@keylee029 Right, and having a relationship with God is what makes you a Christian

[krazzeydaveyc]

@keylee029 yes... but that doesn't make sense. You can't be a Christian, without the relationship with God. The bible talks about that relationship, and walking in the light. If one is not walking in the light, and claims to be a Christian (Christ Follower), they are a Liar.

[daback]

wow, & all this time I thought it had to do with using the lips when it was really based on typing skills & breathing control. I'm such a noob.

[bulldogg5757]

I'm gonna try to catch them at frenchtown NJ in september................ awesome band with God's annoiting all over them

[FillTheirVoid]

The only good thing which could happen to us is that God would grant us faith and repentance.

[woodsandjosh]

Amen and Amen!

[westbobagins]

hahaha my brother is the recording artist that's in the studio with these guys right now. ahahahaha check out the videos from inside the studio. search Glorious Unseen in the studio Video Blog number 1.

[matthewcastillo45]

Glory to God!!! This song always touches my heart, and reminds why I'm still alive.

[mayokiconner]

[bieflegit]

i love this song it's amazing

[StayGoldHC]

saw these guys in novemeber here in New Mexico, it was so powerful. I like barely remember the set, because Gods presence was so incredibly powerful. It was a great opportunity to throw your hands in the air and just PRAISE GOD

[ebmoni]

this song is amazing

[sheswaytoorandom]

they came to my friends church and it was an amazing worship experience

I love this song <3

[forcnolimit]

what a neat song. 

the video compliments it nicely.

[yellowcds178]

I love this song. Every time I hear it I feel a little closer to God

[megharper]

Wow....such a great song!

[bhfischer90]

Amazing song!! Easily my favorite of this year. I want to se this band live so bad.. Come to Lifelight!!!

[VinnyJFazio]

I Love this band and loved this video.Really Really good !

[bobbyflay]

Yes, i saw them last night at thies free show in a church and it was amazing. It was so movingm and you could relaly feel the presence of God. People were crying and everything, it was intense.

[bobbyflay]

[coreyslone27]

There's a lot of things in my life right now and through the pain God is working on me and at times I fell that I'm close to God's heart Ifell so much comfort and this songs reminds me of that...

[fishstickpoop27]

They are AMAZING in concert!!!

[guitar4311]

Wow this is amazing...great to listen to after a long day. I want to see these guy's at a live show now.

[isk8forchrist]

hey does anyone know the name of the song by them tht goes, "How i long to be broken how i long to be near you how my heart skips beats when your love accepts me for who i am." thankss

[telemaster1988]

Burn In Me

[isk8forchrist]

o ok cool thanks man

[AngelAnnihilation]

Coolest and most true band i've met. These guys are in it for the right reasons not for their own glory but for the Glorification of the onlt and true living God

[mrbcf06]

My favorite band! Humble hearts declaring the Glory of our Savior and Lord! Amen!

[thriftygirl]

Is this the song that Matt Redman and Steven Curtis Chapman wrote a few months ago for someone whose child had died?

[sendmetokorea]

no, ben crist wrote this song. he's the guy in the video.

[followerof10]

dang this is the first time i've heard this song, wow it's really deep

[masterkorn]

shoot i gave u a thumbs down omn accident i wanted to give u a thumbs up!!! im srry nice mention it is a powerful song u gotta listen to haste the day song : atumn its a great song =P i cant spell

[Tanstripe]

<3

love...

[koolboymatt]

No new as cities burns rocks the only reason why it was harder was because they wanted it to go with there songs! Now there doing more christan stuff!

[jediknight28]

The new As Cities burn and the old are both pretty christian lyrics the old actually more to some extent

[L337EE]

I love how this video was made with the fast motion effect with a slow, relaxing song. I loved the part where Ben is strolling in the open city, the little girl running about with her teddy bear & the guy/girl relationship...it shows so much freedom and love at the same time.

[roshkoch]

between the glorious unseen and as cities burn, my outlook on life and music will forever be altered thanks to tooth and nail.

<3 you guys.

thank you.

[drummrkid777]

new as cities burn sucks...same thing with still remains:(

[BenHeien]

The new ACB doesnt suck...its just that nothing will ever compare to the older CD.

[Viciousd]

YES! very true friend, very true.

[drummrkid777]

hey dont get made just cuase there new stuff sucks,it happenshardcore bands start going soft after the years

[RichofChaoss]

is that Josh Scogin from The Chariot?

[xaddicted2waterx]

no the lead singer of TGU

[SoHardToFathom]

His name is Ben Crist. He's the lead singer of The Glorious Unseen.

[samwise7861]

no but josh scogin did direct the video

[torance101]

this is the first religous song i actually like

idk theres just something about it and normally im not religous kinda person

but anyways great video

[psalm1914]

how is it that this is the most simple song i've ever heard, yet it's somehow more powerful than any other...

[stlthofnight]

I don't think that the video meant to take away anything from one's desire for Christ. I think that the use of the relationship with the girl was meant to illustrate a loving relationship with Jesus. I know, plenty of differences, but many simmilarities.

[FadedxWill]

definetly true.

[filipino145]

the video adds to it the desire for other things in this earth that may not fll that empty space that only our savior Jesus can fill you know? and it shows how the blessings of God is a true Blessing and is very heaven sent-

[Creationcreed]

Love this band:)

[freeksho93]

this is a great song, it would be a decent song to play at a wedding, i mean just the piano, not the whole band

[deathlock85]

relaly good video. Josh Scogin ownz. i think its using marriage and children as a way to express God's love on earth.

[laugherlover18]

i loved this! it made me smile so much.

[hopewashere]

i don't know how i feel about this music video.

when I got this cd, It was the intense worship i needed to bring me back into Jesus.

this video has nothing to do with the man who saved my soul.

I'm up for discussion. I don't really know what to feel about this.

[ilirxxf]

what a tear jerker lol love it

[emswimz27]

wow this song is so cute. i love it

[drumrollmusic]

MY FAVORITE BAND

oh my, i love the CD, the best worship songs ive ever heard

[travjack]

good shit, liked the fast light and shit, made me feel at home...

[koolboymatt]

great band!

Jesus loves you all and he saves!

He has died on the cross for our sins!

If you ever need help just start to pray!

I love you all!-Matthew Perry

[JONESxSODA]

this is amazing

[RyanTyler12]

man that's sure one beat up piano :D

[SavedTru8]

Brilliant!

[jjmemeryfan]

sweet
