[Electric Guitar by Mach-Wun]


[Verse 1: Jeremiah Bligen]

Now every now and then I forget that it’s hopeless

Without you, and depend on my strength and emotions

Lose sight of the fact that I’m blind, And lie dormant

It's like cast amnesia, I forget that I'm broken

Father forgive me

I know that without you I'll stay

Packed with ambitions for the green

A slave to the bay

Lord be my eyes, provide sight

Let me walk in your ways

And obey your John through Matthew

I'm your clay


[Bridge]

Destruction abounds

To clothe me with fear

Temptations to doubt

Depend on my gears

I come to you now

My Cross to bear

Let your Cross empower

Grace and Mercy ensnare


[Hook]

I need to be...

Closer, to you

I need to be...

Closer, to you

I need to be...

Closer, to you

I need to be...

Closer, to you

I need to be... Closer

Closer to your heart


[Verse 2]

Closer

Not in proxy, for you lie within

But as in focus, magnifying your truth, my lens

Filled with your Glory, as I gaze upon the hills to call

Not worthy, yet worthy through the kin of james, you sawed

Through my hardened heart, my bearded sight removed

Closer, let me remember the wonders in which your word produced

You flipped and parted seas, You are the sovereign King

Forgave the foolish fallen, he who pardoned fleas

Make me mindful of my broken mind

How you mended and primed

My arteries so that my body could be filled with life

Oh God

You are my source, my Lord, my strength, my everlasting

I need to be fixed on you

Even when feelings rapture

And when the passions present, Lord present it as captured

Directed at you in praise

Bleeding into my actions

Cut out uneeded scenes

Conform me to your image

I need you to be closer

My relief pitcher


[Hook]

I need to be...

Closer, to you

I need to be...

Closer, to you

I need to be...

Closer, to you

I need to be...

Closer, to you

I need to be... Closer

Closer to your heart


[Break]

Refresh Me

Renew Me

Holy Spirit

Consume Me

Refresh Me

Renew Me

Holy Spirit

Consume Me

As I draw close, to you Lord

You draw closer, to me

And the closer I am

I’ll see you’re all that I need

As I draw close, to you Lord

You draw closer, to me

And the closer I am

I’ll see you’re all that I need


[Rap along with previous stanza]

My Lord and my Master

My King, You’re my Ruler My Lord

My Source and my Strength

I will Cling to your truth in this storm

My Source and my Strength

I will Cling to your truth in this storm

My Source and my Strength

I will Cling to your truth in this storm
