Would it hurt to stay with Me one hour'
Can't you stand to sing the last refrain'
You sit there staring at your watches
Don't you know you're causing Me more pain'

Did you really think I'd never notice'
That's because you don't believe I'm here
I sat beside you Sunday morning
And you never knew that I was near

I'm close to your lips
(when you're cursing My name)
Far from your heart
(and you worship Me in vain)
Close to your lips
Far from your heart
Your heart

Twenty four times seven hours I give to you
And you act like one's a sacrifice
You're only going through the motions
But your heart is always somewhere else
That's how you value what I've done for you
This is how you show Me that you care
Your empty words will perish with you
Because your heart was never there

I'm close to your lips
(when you're cursing My name)
Far from your heart
(and you worship Me in vain)
Close to your lips
Far from your heart
Your heart

All I ever really wanted
All I ever really wanted
