Closer to You -- Mark Schultz

Closer to me
I’m tired and I’m weak
And every breath within me
Is longing just to be
Closer to You
So I face the road ahead
Cause I know there’s no comparing
To what’s waiting at the end

So let the rain start falling where it will
And I will run through this valley
Just to climb to that hill
And if they ask why I’m smiling
After all I’ve been through
It’s cause I’m just a day closer to You
Closer to me

I hear You whisper in the wind
You say although my life is fading
A new one will begin
Closer to You
And I know I’m not alone
Cause I can hear You in the distance
Saying you are nearly home

And if they ask why I’m dancing
Though my days may be few
It’s cause I’m just a day closer to You
Closer to me

You’re in the laughter and the tears
Of the ones I leave behind me
Who have prayed me through the years
Closer to You
And I know it won’t be long
Until you’re coming down the pathway
And You take me in Your arms

And if they ask why I’m singing
Though my life’s almost through
It’s cause I’m just a day closer
I’m just a day closer
I’m just a day closer to You
Oh, to You
