When we realize the life we live,
Is so much less than the life He gives,
We’re getting closer. We’re getting closer my friend.
When our hearts die to ourselves,
and we care more for someone else,
We’re getting closer. We’re getting closer my friend.
When we take each breath calm and sure,
and count each a gift, short but pure,
We’re getting closer. We’re getting closer…
Closer to the heart of God
Closer to the One who calls us to be
More like His Son you see
Closer to the heart of God
Closer to the way He’d have us to be,
More like Him, less like you and me.
When the path we’re on is not our own
But we fully trust He’ll get us home
We’re getting closer. We’re getting closer my friend.
When peace surrounds our restlessness.
And the world questions our blissfulness,
We’re getting closer. We’re getting closer my friend.
When the praise we hear is not for us
But we only seek His Holiness
We’re getting closer. We’re getting closer my friend.
Closer to the heart of God
Closer to The One who calls
Closer to the One who calls us to be
More like His Son you see
Closer, closer, less like us.
Closer, closer, more like Him.
More like Him, less like us
More faith, hope, love and trust
More like Him, less like us
Closer.
