(Verse 1)
I’ve been runnin’ through the motions,
Chasin’ highs that fade away.
But every time I hear Your whisper,
My heart remembers grace. You lift me when I’m fallin’,
You calm my anxious mind.
Your mercy’s never distant,
Your love don’t change with time. (Pre-Chorus)
And when the world gets loud, I hear You callin’ my name,
Your voice cuts through the noise, it don’t sound the same.
You pull me back, back into truth,
I’m fallin’ deeper, Lord, in You. (Chorus)
I just wanna be closer to You,
Every breath, every move.
Take my heart, make it new,
‘Cause I’m nothing without You.
Let Your Spirit fill the room,
Shine Your light, break me through.
All I want, all I need,
Is to be closer to You. (Verse 2)
I’ve seen the storms and I’ve seen the rain,
But You were there in every pain.
You never left me, no, not once,
You’re the Father, Spirit, Son. Now I’m standing in Your freedom,
Chains gone, I’m alive again.
Grace found me when I was lost,
Now forever I’m in Your hands. (Bridge)
You’re the reason my soul can sing,
Every trial, You’re still my King.
Your word is the truth I cling,
Jesus, You’re my everything. (Chorus)
I just wanna be closer to You,
Every breath, every move.
Take my heart, make it new,
‘Cause I’m nothing without You.
Let Your Spirit fill the room,
Shine Your light, break me through.
All I want, all I need,
Is to be closer to You. (Outro)
Oh Lord, You’re my portion, my peace,
Your presence is where I’m free.
In Your arms I’m made brand new,
Forever I’m closer to You.
