Closer To God
by Anne Wilson

Album: My Jesus

Verse 1
I thought the more I cleaned myself up
The more worthy I'd be
I thought I had to draw near to Him
For Him to draw back to me

Pre-Chorus
But He's the breath in my lungs when I'm gasping for air
He's the friend listening, holding my desperate prayers

Chorus
In every hour that felt too dark
In every moment He felt far
Every time I felt like He forgot
Didn't know I was closer to God
In every valley, He walked with me
He sealed my future, set me free
In every place I felt lost
Didn't know I was closer to God

Verse 2
'Cause He leans into the brokenhearted
The whisper in the storm
And looking back to where I started
The path revealed Him more

Pre-Chorus
He's the tears in my eyes washing my soul
And I had to lose it to know He's in control

Chorus
In every hour that felt too dark
In every moment He felt far
Every time I felt like He forgot
Didn't know I was closer to God
In every valley, He walked with me
He sealed my future, set me free
In every place I felt lost
Didn't know I was closer to God

Bridge
I had to lose hope to finally stop runnin'
And I had to feel alone to learn that I wasn't

Chorus
In every hour that felt too dark
In every moment He felt far
Every time I felt like He forgot
Didn't know I was closer to God
In every valley, He walked with me
He sealed my future, set me free
In every place I felt lost
Didn't know I was closer to God

Outro
He's the friend listening, holding my desperate prayers
