Lyrics

I am walking as close to Your heart as I can
I am crossing the bridge now, between God and man
I am praying as hard as I know how to pray
I am saying the things I have been taught to say
and the faster I run and the harder I try
and the higher I reach, well, the lower I fly
and lately, my efforts have seemed, Lord, in vain
I cannot pull You closer, cannot pull You closer to me
I am laying the tools in my hands at Your feet
I am setting aside all my wants and my needs
I am finished with trying to get where You are
I am finally through trying to fill my own heart
and I will just lay here until you arrive
and I will not move til I feel You inside
and if You aren't the lover, then I'm not the loved
I could not want You closer, could not want You closer
if the hour is late and You don't come
I'll long to see You
when You walk through my door
I'll rise to meet You
I am staying as stil as I ever have been
I am watching Your blood cascade over my sin
I am waiting to see what Your next move will be
I am breathless to think that you might
and I'll wait til the sun has crept into the night
and I'll wait til the darkness turns faith into sight
and I'll wait when the others have all headed home
I could not want You closer
could not want You closer
if the hour is late and You don't come
I'll long to see You
When you walk through my door
I'll rise to meet You
if the hour is late and You don't come
I'll long to see You
When you walk through my door
I'll rise to meet You
I'll rise to
I'll rise to
I'll rise to meet you
