I Always Wanted To Be Closer To You
Author: Mark V. Markov
I was alone wondering on
Hopelessly searching for someone
To have a connection
Longing for love, looking for direction
Yet the hurt inside was making me blind
I couldn't make a difference
Between wrong from right
Until there you came along
Then I saw the light,
I always wanted to be closer to You
I always wanted to feel anew
I always wanted to be closer to You
I always wanted to hear the truth,
Is my love real or is it fake
Please reveal to me
All of my life and what is at stake
Please Lord rebuild the hope still left in me
Help me to overcome, help me to be,
You took me in when I had no place to go
You gave me hope I reached the shore
I always wanted to be closer to you
I always need your love
To carry on and overcome
Struggling inside to overcome my selfishness
Sometimes I lose, sometimes I gain
But everything is not the same
When I look at the world I see vanity
Please Lord change my perspective reality
Fill my spirit with the Holy fire
From sin
Set my soul free
Free from guilt that I feel inside of me,
I always wanted to be closer to you
I always wanted to be closer to the truth
I always wanted to be closer to you
I always wanted to feel anew,
Please teach me to understand myself
So I could figure it all out
You are my salvation
As I see your everlasting light
With your presence
Please Lord change my life
Help me to overcome
I want to uncover the future that is written on my heart,
And hidden deep down inside,
Please help me my Lord God
So I could make a fresh new start
All in all on this journey of my life
It's so hard to make it through and survive
Without the presence of You and your love,
You make me pure
You make me right
I want to be so much closer to You my Lord
I'm trying,
Trying to make it through
Now as I'm trying to live
Help me to always be true to You
It is so hard
To be without your peesence
Your presence is life from heavens of above
Your presence overwhelms my mind
As my eyes see the everlasting light,
You are everything to me
Won't you be inside of my heart?
Inside my mind eternally
Make me pure
Make me right,
I want to be closer to you
Please help me to be as much
As I could be,
Inside my heart
May it be your presence O Lord.
I always wanted to be closer to you
I always wanted to be closer to the truth
I always wanted to be closer to you
I always wanted to feel anew,
Please teach me to understand myself
So I could do your will
You are my everlasting light
Help me to excel in life
With your presence please change my life
Help me to overcome all obstacles
I want to uncover the future that is written on my heart,
And hidden deep down inside...
