Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
I must be close to my destiny
Extremely close to my victory
'Cause here comes
Trials and troubles, jealousy and envy
I must be close to what You have for me
I must be close to my overflow
Extremely close to my miracle
'Cause here comes
Confusion, problems and enemies
I just believe
That I must be close to what You have for me
To whom much is given, so much is required
[?] must go through the fire
But I won't smell that smoke
I'll be better than before
His guidance is in my life
Just to let me know
I must be close... (to my destiny)
(Extremely close...) I'm extremely close
(To my victory...) Yes I am
'Cause here comes
(Trials) and (troubles) and (jealousy and envy)
(I must be close...) I must be close
(To what You have for me)
(I must be close to my overflow)
(Extremely close...) Extremely close
(To my miracle)
'Cause here comes
(Confusion) and (problems) and (and enemies)
(I just believe) I just believe
(That I am close to what You have for me)
[?], I'll hold the steps
That You have planned for me
Living by faith, a bright future I see
I won't be swayed by the obstacles that I face
For my victory is secured, if I stay in grace
That's why... (I just believe)
I Just believe
(That I must be close to what You have for me)
So I'll go through it, I'll go through it
I'll go through it
I just believe, I must be close to it
So close to it, oh, so close to it
(As long as You are with me, I'll get through it)
I'm gonna get through it (I'll get through it)
It may be hard sometimes (I'll get through it)
But You made me a promise
('Cause I know that I must be close to it)
And the promise is that I'm really close (close to it)
Oh, so close to it (close to it) extremely close
(As long as You are with me, I'll get through it)
I'm gonna push through the obstacles (I'll get through it)
The trouble and the trial (I'll get through it)
Through every struggle
('Cause I know that I must be close to it)
[?] close (close) oh, so close
I just believe, I must be close
To God has for me
I've been waiting, anticipating (I believe)
That I am close to what You have for me!...
