14 - Closer To God

I thought the more I cleaned myself up
<br>The more worthy I'd be
<br>I thought I had to draw near to Him
<br>For Him to draw back to me
<br>
<br>But He's the breath in my lungs when I'm gasping for air
<br>He's the friend listening, holding my desperate prayers
<br>
<br>In every hour that felt too dark
<br>In every moment He felt far
<br>Every time I felt like He forgot
<br>Didn't know I was closer to God
<br>
<br>In every valley, He walked with me
<br>He sealed my future, set me free
<br>In every place I felt lost
<br>Didn't know I was closer to God
<br>
<br>'Cause He leans into the broken-hearted
<br>The whisper in the storm
<br>And looking back to where I started
<br>The path revealed Him more
<br>
<br>He's the tears in my eyes washing my soul
<br>And I had to lose it to know He's in control
<br>
<br>In every hour that felt too dark
<br>In every moment He felt far
<br>Every time I felt like He forgot
<br>Didn't know I was closer to God
<br>
<br>In every valley, He walked with me
<br>He sealed my future, set me free
<br>In every place I felt lost
<br>Didn't know I was closer to God
<br>
<br>I had to lose hope
<br>To finally stop runnin'
<br>And I had to feel alone
<br>To learn that I wasn't
<br>
<br>In every hour that felt too dark
<br>In every moment He felt far
<br>Every time I felt like He forgot
<br>Didn't know I was closer to God
<br>
<br>In every valley, He walked with me
<br>He sealed my future, set me free
<br>In every place I felt lost
<br>Didn't know I was closer to God
<br>
<br>He's the friend listening, holding my desperate prayers
