Closer

Here is a thought and I know that it's right
So we better sit down and talk tonight
We're being torn away from our family and friends
No time for the Lord, how subtle it begins
I know the truth and you know it, too
Now it's very clear what we've got to do
Well, I'm not sure what you have heard
But what I mean can be said in one word

To get closer, closer
We've gotta get closer, closer
Say what's in your heart
Tell them that you love 'em tonight

There is a plan and the time has come
Not for a few but for everyone
You're lookin' for truth
And if you really want to know
The Lord's gonna show you
The way you should go
To bring into our lives and the dream that we see
He's gonna start with you and with me
So now we've heard what we've gotta do
And every day the Lord's words come through

To get closer, closer
We've gotta get closer, closer
Say what's in your heart
Tell them that you love 'em tonight
We've gotta get closer, closer
We've gotta get closer, closer
Now's the time to start
Trust Him, it'll be alright

So long, we can't see the end
When we think it's not near
We say we'll slow down
But we're never with the ones we hold dear
And I can see where there'll come a time
When no one's close and that's a crime
You know it's true, it's even happening now
We got to wake up and we better learn how

To get closer, closer
We've gotta get closer, closer
Say what's in your heart
Tell Him that you love Him tonight
We've gotta get closer, closer
We've gotta get closer, closer
Now's the time to start
Trust Him, it'll be alright

So wrong, you know that it's wrong
When there's no change in sight
While it's still light
We've gotta get closer before the night
Now I know how it could be
And I'm so concerned with what I see
If we don't start now, we better watch out
We need God's help
'Cause we've gotta learn how

To get closer, closer
We've gotta get closer, closer
Say what's in your heart
Tell Him that you love Him tonight
We've gotta get closer, closer
We've gotta get closer, closer
Now's the time to start
Trust Him, it'll be alright

We've gotta get closer, closer
We've gotta get closer, closer
Say what's in your heart
Tell Him that you love Him tonight
We've gotta get closer, closer
We've gotta get closer, closer
It's not too late to start
Trust Him, it'll be alright
