You haven't been closer
You haven't been closer
by Joel Howard
I'm afraid
For good reasons tonight
You haven't been closer
You haven't been closer
I'm afraid
All of the lies were wrong
You haven't been closer, ever, God
Closer?
Closer?
How could you be closer to me!
Closer?
Closer!
How could you ever be closer to me
All my days
In my youth You were near
You haven't been closer
And to my fathers
You were there, too
You haven't ever been closer, God
You haven't ever been closer God!
Closer?
Closer?
How could you be more close to me!
Closer?
Closer!
How could you be even closer to me?
How could you be more close to me?
I'm crying tears
I've never cried
I'm sighing sighs
I've never sighed
I've never tried to figure out
What I know now
In my darkest memories
You seem closer now to me
In my secret sins of past
You shine bright there
Bright at last
And had I asked
You would have told me then
"I could never be closer
Than I am now
My son
Rest your weary head on my shoulder
Wipe your tears off your brow
I could never be closer
Than I am now!"
God You've never been closer
To me
Never been closer
Than You are now!!
Oh the joy of generations
Is to pass on the precious promise
You will never leave
You will never leave me, God!
Your faithful testament
Is mine again right now
Mine forever, now
Mine forever, wow!
God You've never been closer
To me
Never been closer
Than You are right now!
Somehow You've never been closer
Than You are right now...
And I rest my weary head
Down with a smile
You've never been closer
Than You are now..
