Sitting right here all alone 

thinking of You, only You

You on my mind, You in my heart

But still I feel, that we are so far apart

Lord I feel so empty, I need to know

Because I have prayed and poured out my heart

What can I do to get close


Can I get close, close to You, 

close to You, closer to You?

Can I get close, close to You

close to You, closer to You?


I want to cry, I want to scream

But I don't wanna die Jesus 

Before I'm drawn close to You

My heart is beating fastmy hands are shaking

But I will still wait

Till i receive by faith

Yet I'm still eager to be drawn close to You


Can I get close, close to You, 

close to You, closer to You?

Can I get close, close to You

close to You, closer to You? 


Can I get close to You 


Draw me nearer, 

Draw me nearer blessed Lord 

To thy precious wounded side 

Close to You, Close to You 

All I long is ...


Can I get close, close to You, 

close to You, closer to You?

Can I get close, close to You

close to You, closer to You?
