Closer to me I'm tired and I'm weak
And every breath within me is longing just to be
Closer to You

So I face the road ahead
Cause I know there's no comparing
To what's waiting at the end


So let the rain start falling where it will
And I will run through this valley

Just to climb to that hill
And if they ask why I'm smiling
After all I've been through

It's cause I'm just a day closer to You

Closer to me I hear You whisper on the wind

You say although my life is ending
A new one will begin
Closer to You

And I know I'm not alone
Cause I can hear You in the distance
Saying, you are nearly home


So let the rain start falling where it will
And I will run through this valley

Just to climb to that hill
And if they ask why I'm dancing
Though my days may be few

It's cause I'm just a day closer to You

Closer to me You're in the laughter and the tears

Of the ones I leave behind me
Who have prayed me through the years
Closer to You

And I know it won't be long
Till You're running down the pathway
Just to take me in Your arms


So let the rain start falling where it will
And I will run through this valley

Just to climb to that hill
And if they ask why I'm singing
Though my life's almost through

It's cause I'm just a day closer
I'm just a day closer
I'm just a day closer to You
