Verse 1
So many things I've done in my life.
I've tasted quite a few of the world's delights.
I've been so many places, and back again,
But only Your love satisfies that emptiness within.

Verse 2
I've known the passion of lovers and the closeness of friends,
And I know what it's like to be alone.
There are times it seems no one in this world cares.
In the hour of despair, trusted friends are up and gone.

Chorus 1
Yes, I wanna get closer and closer to You, [Closer.]
That's all I really want to do. [I wanna get closer.]
Closer and closer to You. [Closer.]
Hmm Hmm Hmm [I wanna get closer.]
Closer.

Verse 3
I've had serious questions about my purpose here on Earth.
Life didn't seem to have much reason or rhyme.
But the closer I'm drawn to Your reassuring love,
My questions & doubts have been left behind.

Chorus 2
And I wanna get closer and closer to You, [Closer.]
That's all I really want to do. [I wanna get closer.]
Lord, I wanna get closer and closer to You. [Closer.]
That's all I really want to do. [I wanna get closer.]

Bridge
Closer to You
Is the place I know I'll find happiness,
And the peace my heart desires.
Closer to You,
I don't mind leaving everything behind.
Take my hand and lead me higher.

Break: -- --

Now I wanna get closer and closer to You,

[I wanna get closer to You.]

That's all I really want to do.
[Closer to You.]
