| | Take Me In Lyrics Artist(Band):Kutless
Into the Holy Place Past the brazen altar Lord I want to see your face Pass me by the crowds of people And the Priests who sing your praise I hunger and thirst for your righteousness But it's only found in one place [Chorus:] Take me into the holy of holies Take me in by the blood of the lamb Take me into the holy of holies Take the coal, touch my lips, here I am If you find some error in Take Me In Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me? Thank You. Review about Take Me In My view | Reviewer: Leo | 12/5/09 I think that sing song is amazing. I also think that the verse has a very direct meaning. "Take me past the outer courts Into the Holy Place Past the brazen altar Lord I want to see your face Pass me by the crowds of people And the Priests who sing your praise I hunger and thirst for your righteousness But it's only found in one place" I think that by saying "take me past the outer courts...past the brazen alter, Lord i want to see your face," AND "Past the crowds and priests...your righteousness is only found in one place." I think these mean to PASS BY these things like alters and crowds...Gods righteousness is only found in His presence, and I think the lyrics are saying we should pass these displays and be with God as close as possible. abc...123 | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/17/09 Brad Jessup said "not pleasing to the Father when we worship and praise how we want to." I disagree in some cases. i think it is fine to use different genres to sing and worship God. Like he said, cain worshiped and praised how he wanted and God rejected but PERSONALIZING it wont upset God. If we are still using music to worship God, then why does it matter if you use something besides the hymnal tune and twist it up and experiment. Whatever you do to it, its still for God and about God. its not like we're sacraficing like what Brad said. we are just doing it different. nothing wrong with that. Good... | Reviewer: Ananya Bhardwaj | 9/20/09 See i am not christian.. i am a Hindu from India.. but i just love this song.. i've listen both the versions.. the one which has "take the coal touch my lips here i am ".. and the one which has cleanse my lips.. i dont know which one is right.. but still.. i feel that is song is brilliant.. and every morning i sing this song as my prayer... its just amazing.. Relax | Reviewer: James | 8/29/09 Kutless is a band that has extra pressure because they are a Christian band. They rise to the occasion and take the hits people give them if a lyric is questionable. They're just praising God. Relax. Why would they go to so much effort is they were satanists or something? I believe that God doesn't care if you use hard rock or acoustic music to praise him. It's the thought that counts. He isn't unreasonable. Again. Relax. Amazing | Reviewer: LATOYA | 4/12/09 We sing the slower version at our church also. This song is for those who will lay their life down at any given time for any reason , even no reason for the LORD . Someone who is eager and desperate for the touch of GOD , someone who is In love with JESUS and his HOLY SPIRIT. Who cares nothing about what the world portrays GOD as but wants to go through experiences with the LORD theirselves , someone who looks up to real men & women of GOD , and pray for GOD to take you there or past .. GOD willing . Who just wants to Go to the Holy of Holies and be with the Almighty GOD for eternity , I pray that for MAN , and all who read this and may not even read , but believe that JESUS CHRIST is LORD .Bretheren pray for me to Go past the outter courts , and for GOD to take me into the holy of holies . For the LORD to take the coal and cleanse my LIPS . LORD HERE I AM YOUR SERVANT. Holy Spirit | Reviewer: LaToya | 3/26/09 My chuch sung this last sunday , and it was like a slower version , well i dont know how the original goes , but the Holy spirit was amazing , and it was great , this song touches me , and i feel like this. I apologize to those who love the song for the following rant, but I wanted to respond to some of the negatives. | Reviewer: Sparra | 2/23/09 Okay, I just want to touch on some of what others have written. To the person who wrote "Sorry, but I disagree"-- I think that you have missed the point that the lyricist was trying to make with the phrase "Holy of holies"-- This is a reference to being in the presence of God. Yes, the Holy of Holies was where the Ark of the Covenant, the Mosaic symbol of God's presence, was kept. But the allusion to Isaiah 6-- take the coal, touch my lips, here I am-- makes clear that the meaning is figurative-- God's presence, not a room. And God's presence is the the only place that we can find the source of righteousness(which is God Himself). Furthermore, this is a journey of the soul, which must be made solo-- not with crowds of people or for show at an altar-- but with a heart focused on one thing: God. An interesting sidebar to this might be the tradition of priests wearing a cord around them to be pulled out by if they were struck down when they entered the Holy of holies and the presence of God. When you consider that, the prayer of this chorus "take me into the Holy of Holies" is saying, I don't care about the consequences, Lord-- kill me if you must-- but I just gotta be close to you! To the person who wrote "Disturbing"-- I think that you have misinterpreted the reason for including rock or alternative sound in worship. As a worship planner and praise team member, I find that sometimes rock, alternative, or other types of music better expreess the spiritual angst within my sould and the emotions and meaning of the words that I'm speaking. That's not to say that such music is always appropriate-- many times, a softer sound is better for the circumstance-- but that does not mean that all rock/alternative Christian music is bad. Furthermore, assuming that all the churches that play such music are halfhearted in their devotion to Christ-- which I am assuming is why you used the term "Laodicean"-- as a reference to Rev. 3-- becaause that is not true! Also, such music is extremely seeker-friendly-- that is, it is not intimidating or scary to the unchurched, as many consider hymns. That does not mean that we are doing it to be like the world; for one thing, the lyrics make the music comepletely different!!! And even if we were, doesn't the apostle Paul instruct us to "become all things to all men, so that we may save as many as possible"? As to statement that this is just "the lie of "new thing"" and we should "return to walking in the old paths like the bible instructs us to"-- I would like to see where in the Bible you are getting your instruction. Christianity has ALWAYS been a radical religion, and incorporating new musical styles is far less radical than many of the changes that Christianity has provoked. Everything that Jesus taught was a "New Thing" that went against the traditions of his day-- that's why he spoke in parables! He didn't want them to understand everything right away, because the things he was preaching went against EVERYTHING the Jews believe: abolish sacrifices, go to God through me instead of the priests, love everyone, everyone is equal, blessed are the ones who are lowly and despised, comparing God to a dishonest judge . . . I could go on and on. And I might add that the most ancient, most traditional music we have in church was at the center of a huge controversy at one time. The church fathers recognized the power of music and had a great debate over how it should be used in worship. John Calvin and Martin Luther put forth 2 different perspectives that would both be highly unpopular today and (thank heaven)are not practiced: 1. NO MUSIC AT ALL. NO EXCEPTIONS. 2. LIMITED MUSIC. ALL HYMNS AND PSALMS MUST BE SET TO THE SAME 7 TUNES. I think I can safely say that no one does this. This is in part because we have realized that our God loves diversity. Adding a bit of Diversity to our worship is a good thing. And it's a bit of a foretaste of heaven, where God will be worshiped on his throne by every tribe, nation and tongue. Notice there are still tribes, nations, and tongues. There's going to be a lot of different worship styles going on in heaven, so my view is that everybody better get used to accepting and respecting (if not learning to enjoy and participate in) worship styles other than their own. Of which Rock and alternative music a re just afew. There's also Rap, African Drum Music, Gregorian Chant (now there's an oldie you don't hear much-- which I find very soothing to my soul even though I don't understand all the Latin) and so on. Finally, I feel that I must answer the charge that "the young generation of today has no idea what God's word says". I believe that some of my quotations have already illustrated a ready knowledge of my Bible, but let me also say that the Bible says "Judge not, lest ye be judged", as well as instructing us in the epistles not to show favoritism to anyone. I may wear a tee and jeans to church but that still meets God's requirement of modesty. And David, "a man after God's own heart" did many of the things that some of the older generation look down on us for. If you doubt it, read about when he brought the Ark of the Covenant back to Jerusalem-- he is described as leaping and dancing and taking off some of his clothes in a state of joyous abandon in worship to the Lord. And because his wife Michal (Saul's daughter) despised him for "making a fool out of himself", the Lord punished her by making her barren!-- which was an enormous social stigma back then as well as a deprivation of kids. For myself, I must say that I find this song incredibly powerful (because of the lyrics) and I love it. I'll probably still be singing it when God calls me home to heaven and I finally get to see him face to face. i love it | Reviewer: karen | 10/9/08 i think the words of this song is so awesome. this song really touches my heart and blesses my soul.to really appreciate though the event illustrated in the song, someone has to be at a certain level with GOD. Disturbing | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/27/08 AMAZING..... | Reviewer: Brad Jessup | 2/21/2008 "This song ROCKS, I am on a worship team and we play a softer version (Acoustic) that does not have the bite, so we are stepping it up:) This song gets you in the groove with the Holy Spirit, which is where we all need to stay at all times:) Praising the King:)" This statement is very disturbing. If having "the bite", "stepping it up" or getting in the groove means music with a rock or alternative sound coupled with extreme volume (like mostlaodicean churches today), then according to God's word, the Holy Spirit will have nothing to do with it. The bible says many times not to pattern yourselves after the world. Not in speech, dress, music...in any way. Those who are well read in the word of God and know Him well, know that it is not pleasing to the Father when we worship and praise how we want to. This is what Cain did when he offered a sacrifice they way he wanted to and God rejected him. Abel offered the sacrifice the way God wanted it to be and this God accepted. It's time to turn away from the lie of the "new thing" and return to walking in the old paths like the bible instructs us to. Sadly, the young generation of today has no idea what God's word says, if they did then their actions, appearance, attitude and demeanor would reflect Him. The old generation has failed to teach the young generation the ways to walk therein. lovely song | Reviewer: thabang | 6/16/08 Hey there!
