Closer To You

[Hook: J.R.]
I wanna be closer to you / I wanna be your heart's desire
I wanna be Number One / even though you play Me shy
I wanna be closer to you / I wanna be all you need
So won't you give Me a try / and watch Me change your life

[Verse 1: The Ambassador]
It's the 2-00-3 and I'm lovin' it b / the blood covenant is still coverin' / my brothers and me
Though we all love urban livin' / for us its not about herb and women / it's about spurtin' the words of heaven
So it's somethin' still raw wit' the picture
I'm workin' for You daily but barely I'm gettin' wit Ya
Somethings keepin' me from gettin' wit You
Diggin' in your Scripture for food where there's infinite truth
You get pushed to the side like when I'm cockin' a brim
It's like we're on the couch but we're on opposite ends
Lord come and put a stop to this trend / I'm lockin' us in
Tonight it's me and You back in the pocket again

[Verse 2: Phanatik]
Goodness gracious Lord / anybody in the hood every taste this before / ever been chased by the Lord?
Embraced by the warmth of the Son / then end up wit their face to the floor?
I love what You cooked up / to make me look up / so that I could pick Your brain if I pick Your Book up
And ever since the day You and I hooked up / life has been Superfly like Jimmy Snuka
But I know You want more than Sunday's / more than cliches / what You want is for me to obey / and if I can't give that / then I can't give jack / You don't want just my hands without my heart attached / without a heart to match / my lip service is dead as artifacts / though I call it worship
And wit' no ring on my hands / and as a single young man / there's more to give / and I can still hear You sayin' / to me

[Hook]

[Verse 3: T.R.U.-L.I.F.E.]
Dad I love You and You know it's true / but I don't show it all the time what I'm goin' through / its hard to stay in front of You
Focus ain't easy / cats act greazy / the world system is set up to deceive me and leave me
I know that's where Your love comes in / and I know for sure / You gon' judge sin / so as I work through life and watch my doctrine closely / I stay close to You / so You can get the most of me
Now if things feel different / I'm the one trippin'
If we seem distant / I'm the one slippin'
You're the same as You've always been / and will be
Representing You / is what fulfills me

[Verse 4: The Tonic]
God I say You the greatest / light of my life
The cross / the greatest / sight of my life
When I believed / the greatest / night of my life
Since then / its the fight of my life / to get at You
That's why I'm so glad / You don't do it like I
Patience and love / You don't do it like I
Forgiveness and stuff / You don't do it like I
Even though I play You shy
Cause I'm a model of the man / who be followin' the plan but / like the hood be sayin' yo / holla at your man / You say holla at your God / and read the Love Letter I inspired
You're never satisfied 'til you're wit' Me
And it gets me / I study wit' zeal and wit' energy / on a mission to affect the industry / mature in the faith / and I'm active in the ministry / all that and I can still hear You sayin' to me

[Hook]
