Although You're always by my side
Your Spirit guides me from within
Some days feels like You're far away
And every breath I take, is aching.
When all my prayers, hurt and tears
Fail to brake the cruel wall
You're grace breaks through, You're always near
My Father, Savior, Holy Ghost.
Chorus: Close to Your heart
The only place I ever want to be
Close to Your heart
To gaze at You throughout eternity
Close to Your heart
My beautiful, so beautiful God
Gazing forever, at the beauty of Your heart.
I pray to see and understand
To know You how You really are
And every glimpse I get of You
Draws me yet closer to Your heart.
Your beauty overwhelms my soul
All things around me fade away
I long to have a heart like Yours
My Father, Savior, Holy Ghost.
Chorus: Close to Your heart
The only place I ever want to be
Close to Your heart
To gaze at You throughout eternity
Close to Your heart
My beautiful, so beautiful God

Some days feels like You're far away

So foolishly took the first bite.

I feel a stranger in this world
Trapped to breathe, trapped to go on.

With no more strength to carry on.
Worthless I fall unto my knees
And plead with You to let me go
Like the dust blowing in the wind
To vanish and to be no more.

The less I think and feel of me.
The more I hunger for You
The fierce the war is getting over me.
Reminders of Your endless love
Flash through my mind like lightning
Piercing through the thunderstorm.

I feel trapped to go on but I am weary
With no more strength to carry on.
Through rainy clouds I’m only pleading
It would be just one less, please let me go.

The less I think and feel of me.

You drown me in Your sea of love.

The closer to You I am drawn
Embraced in Your eternal arms
I am held tight and carried on.

When you feel alone and no one seems to care
When you are crushed, with no more strength to fight
Just call His name, for you He's always there
And so anxiously waiting to overfill your heart.

A tiny grain of sand in the ocean of eternity
It's not too late to lay on Him your burdens
Surrender all your heart, and let Him set you free.

Throughout the deepest and darkest wounds of sin

And clouds oppress you everywhere

| The song below also came unexpectedly. One day I was passing through the living and found myself singing the following sentence "I do believe" and humming the rest of a melody never heard before. I was singing it over and over until I realized the melody was beautiful! I began wondering; "Is God telling me to write another song?" I went into my bedroom and using my human way of thinking I tried to figure what would go with "I do believe". I made some type of sketch but it left me feeling totally void and I gave up. However, "I do believe" and the melody persisted in my mind for the next couple of days. Puzzling, every time I tried working on the lyrics (following the same thinking pattern; "What would go with it?!?" the feeling of voidness would take over me. In the meanwhile I was preparing a resume to apply for ministry at the local prison. After my appointment, I was driving back home on a side road and found myself trying to figure again what would go with "I do believe" ?!? At once a thought overpowered my own thoughts, asking me, "What do *you* believe?" That was it!!! Immediately I pulled over, I grabbed a pen and, instead of what I thought other might take to, I hectically wrote down everything I believed in myself.... |
