Creeds song, Higher, reads like a prayer from someone who longs for Gods kingdom. These lyrics are from the heart of someone who has tasted Gods goodness and yet must continue to live in this fallen world.
Chorus:
Can you take me higher?
To the place where blind men see
Can you take me higher?
To the place with golden streets
Refrain:
Up high I feel like Im alive for the very first time
Up high Im strong enough to take these dreams
And make them mine

Gods people are waiting for something that has not yet arrived, and yet they are also experiencing heaven right now. The fullness of Gods Presence is something much more real than a dream and yet, for expressions sake, this is a wonderful way to describe the reality of Gods heavenly reign here on earth. To some extent it is alive only in the minds of His enlightened ones, who have been taught by His Spirit.

This world is a combination of Gods world and yet also another world. God allows his people to escape the futility of death that reigns over earth, but we still must live on earth for however long God dictates. We can live at peace however, knowing that the purpose of our everyday lives is grounded in eternal meaning because of Christ.
There is a new thirst and hunger that God instills in His people that only He can fulfill. It is a blessed, conscience clearing hunger. It is the rightest, richest kind of hunger there is.
Of course, the fact that Creed performed this song hundreds of times in front of all kinds of audiences is fantastic. Anyone who makes Gods truth available in such a subtle, savvy, sincere way is a spiritual genius.
I love the seeking spirit of Scott Stapp (I believe he wrote most of Creeds lyrics). This spirit is evident by the way he fulfills his passion so well that he gains worldwide fame and yet cant help overflowing with Gods truth. He was strategic to keep from being labeled Christian; he knew that such a connotation would be primarily religious and therefore detrimental to any genuine, spiritual progress. This would have only hampered his ability to perform in the mainstream music scene.
