Closer

Did you know just how close
You were to what you had prayed for?
I was a few steps away from you
Sitting and staring at you through the dark

I felt you pull at me from the inside
Your power was much too strong to fight
I had no control over the way I felt
I knew you were the one on that very night

A heart that was empty and was trying to hold out
For the very thing that it needed and longed for
You stood in front of me with a blanket of sadness
Afraid that you would not have your open door

The connection was so very real and so strong
You were like the missing link that was invisible in my chain
You stood before me as a man that was set down on lock
Baby, you didn’t know that I had your key to release you from all of your pain


From the darkness I called out your name
With so many other sounds around us, you couldn’t single out my voice
From my prayers from my heart to the screams from my lips
You had yet to hear me over all of the interference and noise

Now the time has come to be still and know that there is a God
And to be on the lookout for that ray of sunshine once again coming your way
Baby, stand as tall as you do and look with your open heart
And receive the love that was prepared for you this very day
