Close To You...

Here it is as I sang it this morning. It was a blessing to share it with our congregation - many encouraged me to keep on writing. A special thank you to those who took the time to give me your thoughts on the lyrics!

Close to You

verse 1
The morning sun is rising
From the dancing of the stars
And breezes whisper softly
Of Your presence in my heart
I can nearly touch the heavens
You are so near

chorus
Close to You
There's no place I'd rather be
That's where Your Spirit's calling me
Close to You
This world is not my home
I know where I belong
Close to You.....Close to You.

verse 2
Like rippling waves in wheatfields
Move by the slightest breath
Your Spirit gently moves me
Bringing me to newer depths
From the desert of my soul
Your beauty starts to grow

Bridge
On a day long ago
As the skies turned dark
And a veil was torn in two
You hung
There on a cross
Bearing my sin
Turning my eyes to You

verse 3
The pain You bore in my place
The shame You wore alone
And so I cry out and healing waters flow
In Streams of loving mercy
Running down over me
