You Were Much Closer Lyrics - Fred Hammond

You were much closer 

No need to fear 

I can hear Your word say 

And my eyes filled with tears 

Because You felt far away 

So I returned to our place 

And to my surprise 

You were much closer 

Than I realize 

Sometimes it's hard, I must agree 

When I depend on someone like me 

I just end up abused and in need of care 

But, Lord, I call, I call to You, Lord and You're always right there 

No need to fear 

I can hear Your word say 

And my eyes filled with tears 

Because You felt far away 

So I returned to our place 

And to my surprise 

You were much closer 

Than I realize 

Sometimes my fears are hard to miss 

(Anybody know what I'm talking about) 

Because my storms, they don't wanna pass 

So when my mind feels confused 

And my heart starts to stray 

I call upon the name of the Lord 

And I'll hear Him say, there is no, no 

There is no need to fear 

(I can hear Jesus say) 

I can hear Jesus say, yeah 

(But my eyes filled up with tears because You felt) 

So far away 

(So I) 

So I returned to our place 

(Returned to our place) 

And to my surprise 

(You were standing right there) 

You were much closer than I realize 

(And you are author of the word and I saw you were closer) 

Closer, You were much close 

It took all this time to realize You were standing right by my side 

Closer, You were much close 

You were much closer than I realize 

(And you are author of the word and I saw you were closer) 

Closer, You were much close 

It took all this time to realize You were standing right by my side 

Closer, You were much close 

You were much closer than I realize 

Closer, You were much close 

(When I thought I was going down) 

(For the last time my father) 

You were standing right by my side 

Closer, You were much closer, than I realize 

You were much closer than I realize 

You were much closer than I realize 

You were much closer than I realize
