Closer Lyrics

[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
