Closer

(专辑： Something Different - 2015)

I've been tired and weary
heading back home
Never thought it'd be so hard
walking the narrow road
Through all the toils and trials
Lord You never left me
So I'm finally closer, closer
to where I wanna be

A man's got a worth
but the problem has been
I spent my whole life working
instead of taking Your hand
Lord won't You burn away
all that keeps You from me

I want You here closer, closer than anything

So take me to the center of the fire
take me to the middle of the sea
Take me through the darkest of nights
You can be the lamp to my feet

Walk me over mountains and valleys
'till I'm only hanging by Your prayer

If it brings me closer, closer
You can take me anywhere

What I know about fire
You use it to refine my heart

What I know about the ocean
when You tell it to part it parts
Even though the darkest of nights
it draws me to my knees
And it brings me closer, closer
when I hear You speak

So take me to the center of the fire
take me to the middle of the sea
Take me through the darkest of nights
You can be the lamp to my feet

Walk me over mountains and valleys
'till I'm only hanging by Your prayer
If it brings me closer, closer

You can take me anywhere

There once lived a man
who loved his enemies
The whole world mocked and laughed

'cause of what they couldn't see
He was ...

on the truth that sets us free
He said the poor shall be blessed
and that's what I wanna be

Take me to the center of the fire
take me to the middle of the sea

Take me through the darkest of nights
You can be the lamp to my feet
Walk me over mountains and valleys

'till I'm only hanging by Your prayer
If it brings me closer, closer
You can take me anywhere

Blessed are the broken
Blessed are the weak
Blessed are the hungry and thirsty

Blessed are those that seek
Blessed are the lonely
for they will have a love to spare
Blessed are the poor in spirit
Lord Your kingdom is there
If it brings me closer, closer
take me anywhere

Wanna be closer
Gotta be closer
mmm
oooohhh
oooohhh
oooohhh
We want You closer Lord
We need You closer, closer Lord
We want You closer Lord
How we need You closer, closer Lord
We want You closer
We need You closer
Bring us closer, closer Lord
We want you closer
We need You closer
Lord bring us closer, closer Lord
Bring us closer
Bring us closer
Bring us closer, closer than we'll ever be
Bring us here closer, closer, closer
We need You, Lord we need You
Yeah we need You hear closer, closer
We want You hear closer, closer
Bring us closer, closer
Bring us closer, Lord
Bring us closer
Bring us closer

Closer, closer, closer, closer

Beyond the fear that follows near
Till thorn through darkness that appears
Like sun and moon and sands of time
Something different starts to shine
A flash of faith within the soul
Like little hands it digs a hole
not to bury but to bring new life, new breath, new song to sing
Fast to find it forever know
to glimps to grasp to change and grow
This moment does not linger long
before tomorrow breaks the dawn
The gold will fade and ambers die
Something different will arise
