Close

(album: Close - 2021)

Gotta be close...

I wake with this longing everyday
Wanting to be near You know Your ways
But when I start think that sin has burned my bridges
I'm reminded of Your promises to me

And I know
Neither death nor life can separate
Jesus' blood
Is keeping me in the vicinity
But I still want more
I'm like the deer that's panting for the water
All I'm asking of You
Is to be close
Close
That's all I wanna do is to be close to You
Close
That's all I want from You, yeah
Singular desire
That's what I'm after
Gotta be
Gotta be close

I realize that I drifted away
Distracted by the worries of the day
But You held Your position
You never moved
Now I'm shifting my life to bring me closer to You

And I know
Neither death nor life can separate
Jesus' blood
Is keeping me in the vicinity
But I still want more
I'm like the deer that's panting for the water
All I'm asking of You
Is to be close
Close
That's all I wanna do is to be close to You
Close
That's all I want from You, yeah
Singular desire
That's what I'm after
Gotta be
Gotta be close

I was slipping in the wrong direction
Wondering why I felt isolation
But You never let me go
You're calling me
Now closer to You is where I wanna be
Gotta be close
Right here in Your presence
It's what I want most
I need You every second, yeah
Gotta be close
Gotta be close
Draw me nearer blessed, Lord
I want You the most

I gotta be close
That's all I wanna do is to be close to You
Be close
That's all I want from You, yeah
Singular desire (singular)
That's what I'm after (say I gotta gotta)
Gotta be (say I gotta gotta)
Gotta be close
I gotta be close
Close
That's all I want from You, yeah
That's all I wanna do, yeah
Close

I wanna
I gotta
I wanna be
I gotta be
I need to be close to you
Close
Lift your voice and say
I wanna be close
Close
Everybody put your hands together
Close
I really wanna wanna be close to You

I wanna be
I gotta be
I need to be close to you
