[Intro] Hey, put the noise down for a minute I’m still here I never left the room [Verse 1] You keep checking every mirror for a verdict Scrolling for a savior in the comments and the feed I watched you build a fortress out of opinions Then wonder why you’re lonely in the middle of the street I didn’t come to win your argument I came to find the one the crowd walked past The bruised, the proud, the certain, and the shattered You’re not too far, you’re not too late, you’re not the last [Pre-Chorus] Love the One who made you Love the face in front of you That’s the whole law burning down to this If your hands are full of grudges Set them down, they’re not a gift Mercy’s how the dead learn how to live [Chorus] Come closer, I already know your name Come closer, you don’t have to stay the same Love the stranger, love the one who cut you deep Forgive the debt, forgive the night you couldn’t sleep The kingdom isn’t later, it’s breaking through the gray Come closer I’m the light, and I’m the way [Verse 2] You can drop the scoreboard, I was never keeping one Blessed are the poor in spirit, not the ones who never bend Blessed are the peacemakers when the timeline’s on fire Blessed are the hungry if they’re hungry for the mend Don’t worry about tomorrow like it owes you an answer The lilies aren’t frantic and the sparrows get fed Seek first the kingdom, then watch the rest get smaller What you clutch in fear is lighter when it’s shared [Pre-Chorus] Love the One who made you Love the face in front of you Even enemies are neighbors in my book If they curse you, answer softer If they take, then give them more That’s the kind of power they can’t ignore [Chorus] Come closer, I already know your name Come closer, you don’t have to stay the same Love the stranger, love the one who cut you deep Forgive the debt, forgive the night you couldn’t sleep The kingdom isn’t later, it’s breaking through the gray Come closer I’m the light, and I’m the way [Bridge] I washed the feet I touched the ones you wouldn’t touch I told the truth and didn’t flinch And still I said, forgive them You want a sign? Look at the cross and then the morning Death did not get the final word So neither does your worst day Rise up Follow me The last will lead The gentle get the earth [Final Chorus] Come closer, I already know your name Come closer, you don’t have to stay the same Love your neighbor, love the one who walked away Give your worry, give your fear, give it all away The kingdom isn’t somewhere, it’s standing where you stand Come closer Take my hand Come closer I’m the light And I’m the way [Outro] Come closer I’m still here Come closer
