Closer To God lyrics

I thought the more I cleaned myself up The more worthy I'd be I thought I had to draw near to Him For Him to draw back to me But He's the breath in my lungs when I'm gasping for air He's the friend listening, holding my desperate prayers In every hour that felt too dark In every moment He felt far Every time I felt like He forgot Didn't know I was closer to God In every valley, He walked with me He sealed my future, set me free In every place I felt lost Didn't know I was closer to God 'Cause He leans into the brokenhearted The whisper in the storm And looking back to where I started The path revealed Him more He's the tears in my eyes washing my soul And I had to lose it to know He's in control In every hour that felt too dark In every moment He felt far Every time I felt like He forgot Didn't know I was closer to God In every valley, He walked with me He sealed my future, set me free In every place I felt lost Didn't know I was closer to God I had to lose hope to finally stop runnin' And I had to feel alone to learn that I wasn't In every hour that felt too dark In every moment He felt far Every time I felt like He forgot Didn't know I was closer to God In every valley, He walked with me He sealed my future, set me free In every place I felt lost Didn't know I was closer to God He's the friend listening Holding my desperate prayers
