Closer Lyrics - Mindy Smith - Mindy Smith

The water is deep and the river wide 

My face to the wind against the tide 

This boat is small and the night is black 

The storm is raging but I won't turn 

Back to the shallows where I ran aground 

In the muck, in the mire of the shame and doubt 

And all the lies that they ever told 

I'll be damned if the devil's gonna sink my soul 

I'm getting close, closer 

I can almost touch the north star 

I'm getting close, closer 

This little boat's the hand of God

The water is deep and the river wide 

There's a porch light burning on the other side 

I can hear my name sung sweet and low 

The voice of my mother calling me home 

Beyond the limits of my mortal mind 

Where grace abounds and love is blind 

These old bones are gonna disappear 

With the hate, the worry and all my fear 

I'm getting close, closer 

I can almost touch the north star 

I'm getting close, closer 

This little boat's the hand of God
