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 on the wind

You say although my life is ending

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

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 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

Till You’re running down the pathway

Just to take me in Your arms

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 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
