Closer to Heaven

Closer to heaven was but a dream…
A world in which you would forever gleam…

Time moves slowly through the day, as others pray....
Pray for the chance to look God in the eyes…
Or to stand by his side and be shown the key to life...

To know the day that he will take them away from their pain…
The vain you take, wondering if what you had was really faith…
A chance to prove you’re love and show Jesus your heart never broke from the weight…
As he carried the weight of all our sins by the cross…
I carried the pain he endured through my eyes…
Wondering why did he have to die for a world that went cold to reality…
Feeling sorrow for adding to your weight…
I kneed down and prayed for the painful days I brought through your mind…

Closer to heaven was but a dream…
A world in which you would forever Gleam…
Despite my lies, you kept me alive…
Despite my cold shoulder, you followed closely…
Despite the fall I gave you, you lifted me if I fell…

I’m closer to heaven in my heart and in my soul…
For the love you always shown and never giving up on a once felt lost soul…
