Closer to me,

I'm tired and I'm weak.

Every breath within me

Is longing just to be,



Closer to You,

So I face the road ahead,

Cos I know there's no comparing

To what's waiting at the end.



Let the rain start falling where it will.

I will run through this valley just to climb to that hill.

If the ask why I'm smiling after all I've been through,

It's cos I'm just a day closer to you.



Closer to me,

I hear you whisper on the wind.

You say although my life is fading,

A new one will begin.



Closer to You,

And I know I'm not alone,

Cos I can hear you in the distance,

Saying, "You are nearly home."



Let the rain start falling where it will.

I will run through this valley, just to climb to that hill.

If they ask why I'm dancing though my days may be few.

It's cos I'm just a day closer to You.



Closer to me,

You're in the laughter and the tears

Of the ones I leave behind me

Who have prayed me through the years.



Closer to You,

And I know it won't be long

Til You're running down the pathway,

Just to take me in Your arms.



Let the rain start falling where it will.

I will run through this valley just to climb to that hill.

If they ask why I'm singing though my life's almost through.

It's cos I'm just a day closer.

I'm just a day closer

I'm just a day closer to You.
