All my accolades do not define me
Standing on a stage doesn't qualify me
You're my first call when life hits hard
You're my portion when I've nothing
If I lose my voice, I will only hear Yours speak
Louder, louder
Lose it all I will only find You are
Closer, closer
Death to life
Tears to laughter
You work all things to take me deeper
So glad I lost myself
'Cause it's where You found me
All my shadow days
You have put behind me
From my failures
You brought freedom
From my sickness
You brought healing
If I lose my voice, I will only hear Yours speak
Louder, louder
Lose it all I will only find You are
Closer, closer
Death to life
Tears to laughter
You work all things to take me deeper
So I guess I really need You, and nothing else
But I had to really meet You for myself
To find that death is life
Small is great
Give is get
Blind is faith
Lost is found
Last is first
Poor is rich
And I am Yours
Yes, I am Yours
If I lose my voice, I will only hear Yours speak
Louder, louder
Lose it all I will only find You are
Closer, closer
Death to life
Tears to laughter
You work all things to take me deeper
Speak louder
Draw closer
Come and take me deeper
Speak louder
Draw closer
Come and take me deeper
Speak louder
Draw closer
Come and take me deeper
Speak louder
Draw closer
Come and take me deeper
Come and take me deeper, closer
