[Verse 1: Brandon Lake]
Like the rushing wind
Would You breathe within my heart, heart?
And through the raging storm
Would You hold me in Your arms, arms?
[Pre-Chorus: Brandon Lake]
'Cause I need You
How I need You
[Chorus: Brandon Lake]
I need Your love like I need water
I need Your love like I need breath inside of my lungs
Burn in my heart just like a fire
Come and take me over
Jesus, draw me closer to Your heart
To Your heart
[Verse 2: Brandon Lake]
And through the wind and rain
I can hear You call my name, name
And when the nights get rough
I will still sing out Your praise
[Pre-Chorus: Brandon Lake]
'Cause I need You
How I need You
I need You
[Chorus: Brandon Lake]
I need Your love like I need water
And I need Your love like I need brеath inside of my lungs
Burn in my heart just like a firе
Come and take me over
Jesus, draw me closer to Your heart
Your heart, Your heart
[Bridge: Brandon Lake]
And closer than my every breath
Closer than my every step
Closer than the song I sing
Closer than anything
Closer than my every breath
Closer than my every step
Closer than the song I sing
Closer than anything (Closer)
Closer than my every breath
Closer than my every step
Closer than the song I sing
Closer than anything
[Chorus: Brandon Lake]
I need Your love like I need water
I need Your love like I need breath inside of my lungs
Burn in my heart just like a fire
Come and take me over
Jesus, draw me closer
I need Your love like I need water
I need Your love like I need breath inside of my lungs
Burn in my heart just like a fire
Come and take me over
Jesus, draw me closer to Your heart
Your heart, Your heart
[Post-Chorus: Brandon Lake]
It's where I wanna be forever
In Your heart, Your heart, Your heart
'Cause I don't wanna move without You
I just wanna be in Your heart, Your heart, Your heart
Your heart, Your heart
So come and take me over
Jesus, draw me closer to Your heart
[Outro: Chandler Moore & Brandon Lake]
So pull me a little closer
Take me a little deeper
I want to know Your heart
I want to know Your heart
`Cause Your love is so much sweeter
Than anything I've tasted
I want to know Your heart
I want to know Your heart
So pull me a little closer
Take me a little deeper
I want to know Your heart
I want to know Your heart
`Cause Your love is so much sweeter
Than anything I've tasted
I want to know Your heart
I want to know Your heart
Closer (2020) was written by Brandon Lake.
Closer (2020) was produced by Tony Brown (Housefires) & Jonathan Jay.
Maverick City Music released Closer (2020) on Fri Oct 09 2020.
It says, ‘I need your love like I need water. I need your love like I need breath inside of my lungs.’ It’s a song of desperation: ‘Lord, who are we without you?’ It’s just a song of dependence. We need that perspective and that reminder often, and it’s so apropos for today.
