I'm facing doubt, I'm feeling fear
But I hold fast because You're near
You have promised, I believe
You're here with me
When the distance seems too far
And the journey feels too hard
I hear the whisper, like the wind
I'm here with You
There You are, there You are
Right where I am
There You are, there You are
Moving again
Closer, closer
You keep reaching, You pursue
There is nothing You won't do
I may be broken but I'm not lost
When I am at the cross
There You are, there You are
Right where I am
There You are, there You are
Moving again
Closer
There You are, there You are
Holding me up
There You are, there You are
More than enough
Closer, closer
Closer than my fears and my doubts
Closer than my tears as they fall down
Closer than the lies that I believed
There You are, closer to me
Closer (closer), closer (closer)
Oh, You're getting closer (closer), closer to me, oh!
There You are, there You are
Right where I am
There You are, there You are
Moving again
Closer
There You are, there You are
Holding me up
There You are, there You are
More than enough
Closer
You're holding me up
You are more than enough
Closer, closer
Closer, closer
Closer than the lies that I've believed
There You are, closer to me
