Closer Than Ever Lyrics

Every new day brings another way
Of knowing just who You are
The more I see of Your love for me
I see my love just goes so far
So until I meet You face to face
I'm gonna take Your hand

And travel on
On and on
Where peace is full
And strife is gone
To know You
To love You
I always wanna feel I'm...

Closer than ever to the heart of You
Now that I realize
There's more to You than what You do
Knowing You better
Means loving You better too
Closer than ever, Lord
I'm closer to the heart of You

I'm not gonna cry about the time gone by
Before my heart began to yearn
What matters to me is the certainty
That it's never too late to learn
Until we reach the time You come again
I want to reach for You
More and more
Show me more
All of the ways
I've not seen before
To know You
To love You
I always wanna feel I'm...

Closer than ever To the heart of You
Now that I realize
There's more to You than what You do
Knowing You better
Means loving You better too
Closer than ever, Lord
I'm closer to the heart of You

More and more
Show me more
All of the ways
I've not seen before
To know You
To love You
I always wanna feel I'm...

Closer than ever to the heart of You
Now that I realize
There's more to You than what You do
Knowing You better
Means loving You better too
Closer than ever, Lord
I'm closer to the heart of You, yeah...
