Nearer, my God, to thee
Nearer to thee!
E'en though it be a cross
That raiseth me
Still all my song shall be
Nearer, my God, to thee
Nearer, my God, to thee
Nearer to thee!
Though like the wanderer
The sun gone down
Darkness be over me
My rest a stone
Yet in my dreams I'd be
Nearer, my God, to thee
Nearer, my God, to thee
Nearer to thee!
I am broken I am fallen I need somebody to lift me up
And all the people in my life have gone off to heaven above
I need your helpful hand to help me through this endless night
I've been waiting for the stars, the sun and of course your endless light
But your might didn't heal my sight, I was blind to what was right
When the wind blasts and the waves crash I float off a stringless kite
Looking for answers to some questions that my soul still yearns to ask
But my mind is so caught up in all of the little things I lack
And I go back to habits black but these hard hearts are meant to crack
A love shack blessings stack I'm so full I'm about to have a heart attack
Then smack my mind is clearer and I feel you coming nearer
And when I look into the mirror I find you've taken all my fear or
Maybe this is all just in my head dreams I have while I lay in bed
That come from words I've read and even more words people said
But I know that I feel better like this my life could sure use this type of bliss
The answers are crisp no darkened mist I'm better now that you're around
There let the way appear
Steps unto heav'n
All that thou sendest me
In mercy giv'n
Angels to beckon me
Nearer, my God, to thee
Nearer, my God, to thee
Nearer to thee!
