Closer to God

I have a song to share with you about the things I've learned
The Lord, He has been showing me how much He is concerned
The things that I've been going through have all been for the good
To show me that I must depend upon His every word

Oh, to be closer to God than I ever have before
Oh, to be closer to God than I ever have before

If you listen to the Lord with all your heart, you know He's there
If you listen to the Lord you'll see He really, really cares
But just don't let the days go by without doing what He says
For the longer that you put him off, the harder it will get

Oh, to be closer to God than I ever have before
Oh, to be closer to God than I ever have before

Oh, to be closer to God than I ever have before
Oh, to be closer to God than I ever have before
