Enter Unhindered, a Christian worship band cased out of Atlanta, GA. More than just a group of musicians playing together, Unhindered is a community that is dedicated to tirelessly laboring to lead people to God. A band that has been forming since some of its' members were in high school, Unhindered released their first CD (City Streets. independent) in Fall of 2005 and have since sold over 10,000 copies.
Led by front men Ben Smith and Patrick Barrett, Unhindered's unique ability to engage worshippers across age as well as cultural barriers has brought the group in front of churches and conferences nationwide.
With a passionate heart for engaging students in worship, the band now travels across the United States declaring that not only does God want to be involved in students' lives while they are at church, but He also desires to play play a huge part in their every day activities and decisions. "The same God that you sing to now, in church," says Patrick (Pat), "wants to play a part in every decision you make tomorrow at school, with your friends, at your job, wherever you are, in everything that you do." Leading over 8,000 people at their first international event in Ontario, Canada in the Fall of 2006, the band is excited and humbled by their quickly growing platform for ministry.
Unhindered consists of Ben Smith (Keyboards/Vocals), Patrick Barrett (Guitars/Vocals), Christian Paschall (Drums/Programming), J.R. Collins (Bass/BGV), and Ashley Dasher (Guitars).

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To see your kingdom come
I want to see your love poured out
Let your will be done
I want the world to see
Your beauty let heaven come to earth
Awaken hearts, open up their eyes
Let 'em know that You're alive
I can feel it burning now
My heart is crying out
I'm desperate
For ever word You say
To know you more than I could ever imagine
I want to see you move in power
To see your kingdom come
I want to see your love poured out
Let your will be done
I want the world to see your beauty
Let heaven come to earth
Awaken hearts, open up their eyes
Let 'em know that You're alive
I can feel it stirring now
I can feel it burning now
My heart is crying out
I'm desperate
For ever word you say
To know you more then I could ever imagine
I'm over this
I'm tired of my old ways
I'm chasing after you
Reveal yourself to me
Reveal yourself to me Lord
'Cause I need You

I'm chasing after you
Reveal yourself to me
