Closer
by Benny Hester

Here is a thought and I know that it's right,
So we better sit down and talk tonight.
We're being torn away from our fam'ly and friends.
No time for the Lord:
How subtle it begins,
I know the truth and you know it, too.
Now it's very clear what we've got to do.
Well I'm not sure what you have heard.
But what I mean can be said in one word:
To get

chorus 1:
Closer, closer.
We've gotta get closer, closer.
Say what's in your heart.
Tell them that you love 'em tonight.

There is a plan and the time has come,
Not for a few but for ev'ryone.
You're looking for truth
And if you really want to know,
The Lord's gonna show
You the way you should go.
To bring into our lives and the dream that we see,
He's gonna start with you and with me.
So now we've heard what we've gotta do.
And ev'ry day the Lord's words come through:
To get

(chorus 1)

We've gotta get get closer, closer.
We've gotta get closer, closer.
Now's the time to start.
Trust Him; it'll be alright.

So long, we can't see the end
When we think it's not near
We say we'll slow down.
But we're never with the ones we hold dear.
And I can see where there'll come a time
When no one's close
And that's a crime.
You know it's true.
It's even happening now.
We got to wake up,
And we better learn how to get

chorus 2:
Closer, closer.
We've gotta get closer, closer.
Say what's in your heart.
Tell Him that you love Him tonight.
We've gotta get get closer, closer.
We've gotta get closer, closer.
It's not too late to start.
Trust Him; it'll be alright.

So wrong. You know that it's wrong
When there's no change in sight,
While it's still light
We've gotta get closer before the night.
Now I know how it could be.
And I'm so concerned with what I see.
If we don't start now, we better watch out.
We need God's help,
'Cause we've gotta learn how to get

(chorus 2)
