I've been lost and afraid in the water

Trying to find my back home with the martyrs (yeah)

I've been walking nearer the widows

Coz how do you cope when all is against you? (mmm)

You gotta taste and see the goodness

Wrap yourself in love

Clothed in tender mercy

Merch from above

You gotta taste and see the goodness

Wrap yourself in love

Clothed in tender mercy

We have to get closer

Than we ever were before

Closer

Than we ever were before

Uh, life is getting hard man I feel the pain

Pastor told you to pray but it still feel the same

Friends tell you to wait but they don't see the strain

With a picture you paint it's like you're in a train

Heading for destruction

A bottle full of substance is a secondary function

But I bet it do me something

Lord knows, I need him but I never would have clocked in

If I knew what it meant to be available with unction

I just wanna live in light

I tasted and seen it is not a bitter sight

I just wanna get it right

Lord help me, get my heart closer to the Christ

And let me be closer with delight

Yeah man I just wanna live in truth

I tasted and seen and my life a living proof

This is what I'm made to do

Yeah wrap myself in love never touch forbidden fruit

And each steps closer to the view

I have to get closer

We have to get closer

Than we ever were before

Closer

Coz I wanna be

Than we ever were before

Closer to you my Saviour

We as a people must admit that we strayed away from most things the Son has said and done

Lord please break us down

Mend our hearts and take our doubts

Would you change us now?
