Closer to me,
I`m tired and I`m weak.
Every breath within me
Is longing just to be,
Closer to You,
So I face the road ahead,
Cos I know there`s no comparing
To what`s waiting at the end.
Let the rain start falling where it will.
I will run through this valley just to climb to that hill.
If the ask why I`m smiling after all I`ve been through,
It`s cos I`m just a day closer to you.
Closer to me,
I hear you whisper on the wind.
You say although my life is fading,
A new one will begin.
Closer to You,
And I know I`m not alone,
Cos I can hear you in the distance,
Saying, "You are nearly home."
Let the rain start falling where it will.
I will run through this valley, just to climb to that hill.
If they ask why I`m dancing though my days may be few.
It`s cos I`m just a day closer to You.
Closer to me,
You`re in the laughter and the tears
Of the ones I leave behind me
Who have prayed me through the years.
Closer to You,
And I know it won`t be long
Til You`re running down the pathway,
Just to take me in Your arms.
Let the rain start falling where it will.
I will run through this valley just to climb to that hill.
If they ask why I`m singing though my life`s almost through.
It`s cos I`m just a day closer.
I`m just a day closer
I`m just a day closer to You.
