Closer To You Lyrics - Stories & Songs - Mark Schultz

Closer to me, 

I'm tired and I'm weak. 

Every breath within me 

Is longing just to be, 

Closer to You, 

So I face the road ahead, 

Cos I know there's no comparing 

To what's waiting at the end. 

Let the rain start falling where it will. 

I will run through this valley just to climb to that hill. 

If the ask why I'm smiling after all I've been through, 

It's cos I'm just a day closer to you. 

Closer to me, 

I hear you whisper on the wind. 

You say although my life is fading, 

A new one will begin. 

Closer to You, 

And I know I'm not alone, 

Cos I can hear you in the distance, 

Saying, "You are nearly home." 

Let the rain start falling where it will. 

I will run through this valley, just to climb to that hill. 

If they ask why I'm dancing though my days may be few. 

It's cos 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 

Til You're running down the pathway, 

Just to take me in Your arms. 

Let the rain start falling where it will. 

I will run through this valley just to climb to that hill. 

If they ask why I'm singing though my life's almost through. 

It's cos I'm just a day closer. 

I'm just a day closer 

I'm just a day closer to You.
