Closer To You Lyrics - Darden Smith

You would think I was born yesterday, the way I act sometimes 

Like I'd never heard your good message, deaf, dumb and blind 

Speak harsh to my children, impatient with my lover 

And that man on the street, he cut me off in traffic 

You should've heard me scream 

And just when I think I've pushed it too far 

Worried about the battle and blowing the war 

That's when I hear your voice in my ear with 

Love so simple, love so plain 

Coming down on me like the rain 

With sweet forgiveness no matter what I do 

And it makes me want to get just a little bit closer to you 

'Cause Lord, I carry these demons, temptation, ooh I've had my fun 

But lately I've been thinking there's work to be done 

I know how to be gentle, it's just that I forget 

If someone makes me angry, someone's in a hurry 

I can just let them just rush on by and take that deeper breath 

Because this is the battle, yeah, this is the war 

This is really worth fighting for 

And I have no fear as long as you are near with 

Love so simple, love so plain 

Coming down on me like the rain 

With sweet forgiveness no matter what I do 

And it makes me want to get just a little bit closer to you 

These things I say and do I wish that you did not see 

I'm thanking you now for never giving up on me with 

Love so simple, love so plain 

Coming down on all of us like the rain 

With sweet forgiveness no matter what we do 

And it makes me want to get just a little bit closer to you, ooh, closer
