closer than you know

i tempered the storm

though your faith was small

i prayed while you slept

and the night waged war

we stood in the fire

and we walked on sea

and we drank of the wine

that was made of me

don't turn your eyes from me

for my love won't be undone

don't hide your face from me

for my light has surely come

surely come surely come

i carried that cross

and i felt your pain

i took up your crown

and i wore your shame

and death was a fire

and its teeth were grim

but i left it behind

along with all your sin

don't turn away from me

for my love won't be undone

don't hide your face from me

for my light has surely come

surely come surely come

lift up your eyes and see

heaven is closer than you know

lift up your voice and sing

know that my love won't let you go

and i won't forsake you

lift up your eyes and see

heaven is closer than you know

know i'll never leave you

so lift up your voice and sing

know that my love won't let you go

and my light has surely come

surely come surely come

and i'm closer than you know

and i'm closer than you know

lord i hear you i know you're there

closer now than my skin and bones could dare

breathing deep within me

you are always with me

i can see you where eyes can't stare

brighter now than the sun could ever dare

breathing all around me

god i know you're with me here

lord i hear you i know you're there

closer now than my skin and bones could dare

breathing deep within me

you are always with me

i can see you where eyes can't stare

brighter now than the sun could ever dare

breathing all around me

god i know that you are here

for i'm yours and you are mine

and my soul knows well

you are here

you are here

and my soul will praise you

and my soul will praise your name

singing holy is your name

jesus
