[Verse 1: Joel Houston]
I tempered the storm
Though your faith was small
I prayed while you slept
And the night waged war
We stood at the fire
And we walked on sea
And we drank of the wine
That was made of me
[Pre-Chorus: Joel Houston]
So don't turn your eyes from me
For my love won't be undone
Don't hide your face from me
For my light has surely come
Surely come, surely come
[Verse 2: Joel Houston]
I carried that cross
And I felt your pain
I took up your crown
And I wore your shame
And death was a fire
And its teeth were grim
But I left it behind
Along with all your sins
[Pre-Chorus 2: Joel Houston & Taya Smith]
So don't turn away from me
For my love won't be undone
Don't hide your face from me
For my light has surely come
Surely come, surely come
[Chorus: Joel Houston & Taya Smith]
Lift up your eyes and see
Heaven is closer than you know
Lift up your voice and sing
Know that My love won't let you go
Know I'll never leave you
So lift up your eyes and see
Heaven is closer than you know
Know I won't forsake you
So lift up your voice and sing
Know that My love won't let you go
And My light has surely come
Surely come, surely come
And I'm closer than you know
[Bridge: Taya Smith]
Lord I hear You I know You're there
Closer now than my skin and bones could dare
Breathing deep within me
You are always with me
I can see You where eyes can't stare
Brighter now than the sun could ever dare
Breathing all around me
God I know that You're here
Lord I hear You I know You're there
Closer now than my skin and bones could dare
Breathing deep within me
You are always with me
I can see You where eyes can't stare
Brighter now than the sun could ever dare
Breathing all around me
God I know that You're here
[Outro: Taya Smith]
And my soul knows well
You are here, You are here
And my soul will praise You
And my soul will praise Your name
Singing Holy is Your name
Oh, Jesus
Oh my Jesus
Oh Jesus
Jesus
Closer Than You Know (Live) was written by Michael Guy Chislett & Matt Crocker & Joel Houston.

Hillsong UNITED posted the following in the song’s YouTube video description.
The last song on the album and the last song we recorded – the whole trip Joel wanted to get this song under an Olive tree – like the in the Garden of Gethsemane where Jesus would have prayed…. For US!
We were exhausted...
