Away from the cares of this world
Into the place where I find rest
I wanna be close to you
Oh Lord
Far from the pressures of this
World
Into your pleasures evermore
I wanna be with you Lord
Lord, the safest place that I could ever be
Is in the center, the center of your will
So Lord I wanna be closer
Draw me closer, a little bit closer
Closer
Than I used to be sir
Take me to the place where everything is just ok
I wanna be Nearer
Won't you take me higher
Where the eagles fly
To that place where i belong
Just to be close to you
Is my desire, oh Lord
Ooh, yay
Far from the reach of the enemy
Into a place of serenity
I wanna be where you are (you are)
Away from this world's aversity
Into a place of tranquility
I wanna be with you
Lord I know, the safest place I can be
Is in the center, the center of your will
So Lord i wanna be closer
Draw me closer
A little bit closer
Closer
Than i used to be sir
Take me to the place where everything is just ok
I wanna be nearer
Won't You take me higher
Where the eagles fly
To that place where i belong
Closer
Than i used to be sir
Take me to the place where everything is just ok
Won't you draw me nearer (Nearer)
Won't You take me higher
Where the eagles fly
To that place where i belong
Closer, closer, closer, to You sir
Closer, closer, closer, to You sir
I wanna be closer
Just a little closer
Closer
A little bit closer
Closer
To you sir
Say that one more time
I wanna be
Closer
Take me to the place
Closer
Take me to the place
Closer
To you sir
Let the horn blow
♪
Anybody wanna get closer
Oh, yay (Akesse Brempong)
One finger in the air
♪
Let say that one more time
One finger in the air (One finger in the air)
Closer
Somebody say closer
Let me hear you say closer
Let me hear you say closer
Oh, yay
Closer to you
One finger in the air
Closer to you
One finger in the air
Closer to you
Closer to you
