Away from the cares of this world
Ä°nto a place where i find rest
Ä° wanna be close to you
Far from the pressures of this world
Ä°nto Your pleasures ever more
Ä° wanna be with You
Lord the safest place that I could ever be
Ä°s in the Center, the Center of Your will
So Lord i wanna be closer
Draw me closer, a little bit close
Closer
Than i used to be sir
Take me to the place where everything is just OK
I wanna be Nearer
Won't You take me higher
Where the eagles fly
To that place where i belong
Far from the reach of the enemy
Ä°nto a place of serenity
Ä° wanna be where you are (you are)
Away from this world's aversity
Ä°nto a place of tranquility
Ä° wanna be with you
Lord i know, the safest place i can be
Ä°s in the Center, the Center of Your will
So Lord i wanna be closer
Draw me closer
A little bit closer
Closer
Than i used to be sir
Take me to the place where everything is just OK
I wanna be Nearer
Won't You take me higher
Where the eagles fly
To that place where i belong
Closer
Than i used to be sir
Take me to the place where everything is just OK
I wanna be Nearer
Won't You take me higher
Where the eagles fly
To that place where i belong
Closer, Closer, Closer, to You Sir
Let the horns blow
Let me hear you say closer
Closer to you
Closer
Than i used to be sir
Take me to the place where
I belong
I wanna be Nearer
Nearer to you lord
Won't You take me higher
Ooh yeah
