Lyrics
Closer to You
words and music by
Dean Slocum
1st verse: Can't erase, can't deny the times I've lost my way.
On Your grace, I rely to carry me through each day.
So busy with worldly distractions, I let them keep us apart.
But now my strongest atttraction is seeking Your heart.
chorus: I want to be closer to You,
To know Your will in my life.
I want to get closer and closer, closer to You.
I give you my heart, my soul to keep.
All that I need is to be - closer to You.
2nd verse: Earthly treasures, don't embrace me when I'm on my knees.
Worldly pleasures, leave no trace - they're just a passing breeze.
Caught up in a prideful illusion, I thought that I had control.
But there was only confusion until I let go.
bridge: In Your presence, no evil can harm me.
You're the essence of power and strength.
Surround me with Your loving protection.
You're the Earth, You're the sky,
All my needs You supply.
repeat chorus
