I’m coming closer than I’ve ever been
Despite all my failure You welcome me here
I look to You, I see the love in Your eyes
Closer and closer, You draw near to me
Your love surrounds me, my heart is set free
You take my fear, You give me life again
Father I am Yours
My sin and shame
There at the cross
I’m letting go
So I come
Come back to where I belong
Home in Your presence
Into Your arms
Father to You I come
Pour out my worship, my love
My heart surrendered
I’m overcome
I’m sinking deeper into Your love
I’m coming closer than I’ve ever been
Despite all my failure You welcome me here
I look to You, I see the love in Your eyes
We are chosen, we are loved
We’re sons and daughters
We are ever in Your love
