Don’t have to walk a million
Miles to find You
Don’t have to sail around
The world to see
‘Cause every time I lift my heart
To praise You
There You are right next to me
You’re closer closer than a brother
No longer so far away
Jesus now I can touch You
I feel You in my heart
Every time I start to
Give You praise
I feel You getting closer
Closer
Don’t have to do a bunch of
Things to please You
Don’t have to play
No religious games
Don’t need a special
Prayer for You to hear me
All I have to do is just
Mention Your name
I was a stranger to Your mercy
When I cried Lord You heard me
You took away my sin
Then You let me in
You took away my sin
Now I’m closer
Closer than a brother
No longer so far away
Jesus now I can touch You
I feel You in my heart
Every time I start to give You praise
You’re closer
Closer than a brother
No longer so far away
Jesus now I can touch You
I feel You in my heart
Every time I start to give You praise I feel You in my heart
Every time I start I feel You in my Heart every time I start
To give You praise
Feel You getting closer…
