I wake with this longing everyday Wanting to be near You know Your ways But when I start think that sin has burned my bridges I’m reminded of Your promises to me
And I know Neither death nor life can separate Jesus’ blood Is keeping me in the vicinity But I still want more I’m like the deer that’s panting for the water All I’m asking of You Is to be close Close That’s all I wanna do is to be close to You Close That’s all I want from You, yeah Singular desire That’s what I’m after Gotta be Gotta be close
I realize that I drifted away Distracted by the worries of the day But You held Your position You never moved Now I’m shifting my life to bring me closer to You
And I know Neither death nor life can separate Jesus’ blood Is keeping me in the vicinity But I still want more I’m like the deer that’s panting for the water All I’m asking of You Is to be close Close That’s all I wanna do is to be close to You Close That’s all I want from You, yeah Singular desire That’s what I’m after Gotta be Gotta be close
I was slipping in the wrong direction Wondering why I felt isolation But You never let me go You’re calling me Now closer to You is where I wanna be Gotta be close Right here in Your presence It’s what I want most I need You every second, yeah Gotta be close Gotta be close Draw me nearer blessed, Lord I want You the most
I gotta be close That’s all I wanna do is to be close to You Be close That’s all I want from You, yeah Singular desire (singular) That’s what I’m after (say I gotta gotta) Gotta be (say I gotta gotta) Gotta be close I gotta be close Close That’s all I want from You, yeah That’s all I wanna do, yeah Close
I wanna I gotta I wanna be I gotta be I need to be close to you Close Lift your voice and say I wanna be close Close Everybody put your hands together Close I really wanna wanna be close to You
