Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Here I am once again,
crying out on the floor.
Trying to make sense
of this emptiness, once more.
I can't do this on my own.
I'm in too deep,
I should have known.
I know You made me for
so much more than this.
I've been running so fast,
trying to get back to the start.
I've been holding so tight,
but it all just comes apart.
Pull me in, break me down,
make me new and bring me
Closer to Your heart, heart, heart, heart, heart [x2]
Help me be unafraid,
find my place where You are.
Oh, You've always been enough,
You're the light in the dark.
Afraid of giving up control,
You are there, but I let go.
You're taking this brokenness,
making it beautiful.
I've been running so fast,
trying to get back to the start.
I've been holding so tight,
but it all just comes apart.
Pull me in, break me down,
make me new and
bring me closer to Your
Heart [x5]
Oh oh, make me come clean.
Oh oh, You're all I need.
Oh oh, bring me closer to
Your heart, heart, heart.
Closer to Your heart, heart, heart, heart, heart.
I've been running so fast,
trying to get back to the start.
I've been holding so tight,
but it all just comes apart.
Pull me in, break me down,
make me new and bring
me closer to Your heart, heart, heart, heart, heart.
Closer to You're heart, heart, heart, heart, heart.
Closer to You're heart, heart, heart, heart.
