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
