so many times, when I'm thinking about you
and all that you are and what you mean to me
a picture of hope, fills my emotions
to know that your love will forever be
when the picture starts fading and I'm faced with the fear
you come with your spirit and gently draw me near
when I'm safe in your love / arms

Chorus
I just wanna be close to you
I need you spirit's touch
breaking through, it's everything I hope for
in everything I do, I want to get close to you
oh Jesus, I want to get close to you

caught in a bind. I choose salvation
that's lacking in the name of faith
til' I wake up to find my will in Your will
are two different places so far away
but it's the distance between us that brings on the trials
the same tribulation that's closing in the miles
and it tells me even more, that ...

- Chorus -

[ I wanna get close to you ]

I just wanna be close to you
and I need you spirit's touch
breaking through, it's everything I hope for
in everything I do, I want to get close to you
oh Jesus, I want to get close to you
