Unveil
Jeff Deyo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your never ending power
Your splendor is more
Than I can imagine
I've heard of Your perfections
But I've been blind to You
Open my eyes
Open my heart
CHORUS
Unveil my eyes
So I can see Your glory
Unveil my eyes
So I can know You're here
You're here
Your love, it overtakes me
And makes me who I am
As I am undone
In light of Your glory
Bridge
Take apart this world
That I have made
Make this heart aware
Of more than me
Reveal to me the depths
Of who You are
And come and teach me like a child
To trust Your heart
The lyrics of Jeff Deyo's song Unveil depict a deep spiritual yearning for a greater understanding of God's power and glory. The singer is acutely aware of his own limitations and admits that his imagination falls short when it comes to comprehending the full extent of God's magnificence. Despite having heard about God's perfections in the past, he has been blind to them until now. He implores God to open his eyes, ears, and heart in order to perceive His glory more clearly.
The chorus goes on to echo the singer's plea to be able to see God's glory, to know that God is present, and ultimately to experience the transformative power of His love. As he is overtaken by God's love, he begins to understand himself in relation to God and recognizes that it is only through a deeper understanding of God that he can find true meaning and purpose.
In the bridge, the singer goes further by acknowledging the limitations of his worldly perspective and asking God to "take apart this world" that he has made. He seeks a greater awareness of the divine by asking God to reveal the depths of who He is and to teach him like a child to trust His heart. Overall, the lyrics of Unveil are a heartfelt call for a deeper spiritual connection with God, one that transcends the limitations of human understanding.

I loved a girl once, and she sang in a small church choir in the next town over. Of all the songs they played, this one was my favorite.
