Day 158 – Closer to the Flame (Shorts)

Verse 1 I thought I was leading with courage and grace Keeping the peace, holding my place But pride wore a cross and I couldn’t see The way that felt right was undoing me Verse 2 I gave all I had, tried to be kind But I was the hero in my own mind Doing good things God never asked me to bear Chorus There is a way that seems right But it leads into shadows, away from the light Still You whisper through fire and rain Drawing us closer—closer to the flame Verse 3 I opened the Word and the weight became clear Love isn’t silence, and peace isn’t fear I bowed my plans to a voice from above Now I walk slow, but I walk in Your love Bridge I see you now—not perfect, but real And I see your wounds, and I know they can heal The way to the cross is narrow but true And growing in Him means growing with you Final Chorus There is a joy in this cost There’s healing in things we thought we had lost Even in sorrow, we’re learning again To yield, to forgive, to love in His name We’re coming closer—closer to the flame [Outro] Closer to the flame
