Closer Than Friends - Surface

I tempered the storm Though your faith was small I prayed while you slept And the night waged war We stood in the fire And we walked on the sea And we drank of the wine That was made of Me Don't turn your eyes from Me For My love won't be undone Don't. hide your face from Me For My light has surely come Surely come Surely come I carried that cross And I felt your pain I took up your crown And I wore your shame And death was a fire And it's teeth were grim But I left it behind Along with all your sins Don't turn away from Me For My love won't be undone Don't hide your face from Me For My light has surely come Surely come, surely come Lift up your eyes and see Heaven is closer than you know Lift up your voice and sing Know that My love won't let you go And I won't forsake you so Lift up your eyes and see Heaven is closer than you know No I'll never leave you So lift up your voice and sing Know that My love won't let you go And my light has surely come Surely come, surely come And I'm closer than you know And I'm closer than you know Lord, I hear You, I know You're there Closer now than my skin and bones could dare Breathing deep within me You are always with me I can see You where eyes can't stare Brighter than the sun could ever bare Breathing all around me God, I know that You are with me Lord, I hear You, I know You're there Closer now than my skin and bones could bare Breathing deep within me You are always with me I can see You where eyes can't stare Brighter now than the sun could ever bare Breathing all around me God, I know that You are here For I'm Yours, and You are mine And my soul knows well You are here, You are here And my soul will praise You And my soul will praise Your Name Singing Holy is Your Name Jesus Oh, Jesus!

She'll read your mind She's smart as a whip She'll suck you dry But look at how much I drip? At the point of ecstasy I write a symphony Of poetry in motion And leavin' me there to die I tell myself let no one take her place To confide in someone And look at how much I paid? I want you next to me Call it telepathy We drifted into vision And look at how much we see? Ahh, ah ahh I just wanna get closer than close to you I know that one way or the other Any test of my faith will do And lovers fall for lovers' friends We make each other cry Livin' in each others lives And tryin' to make the fantasy come true I just wanna get closer than close to you, baby I just wanna get closer than close to you Your soul is naked It tells you what you want I read your letter And look at how close I've come There's more for us to see In this philosophy We both end up in Heaven And look at how close we'd be Ahh, ah ahh I just wanna get closer than close to you I know that one way or the other Any test of my faith will do I give my heart for you to break I give my final breath Nothin' last forever see We can turn eternity into I just wanna get closer than close to you And the moment you discover What the best of my love can do And lovers fall for lovers' friends We make each other cry Livin' in each others lives And tryin' to make the fantasy come true I just wanna get closer than close to you, baby I just wanna get closer than close to you I just wanna get closer than close to you (I just wanna get closer than close to you) And the moment you discover What the best of my love can do (my love) Baby, I just wanna get closer than close to you (I just wanna get closer than close to you) And I know that one way or the other Any test of my faith will do (My love) Baby I just wanna get closer than close to you

And the morning light was breaking Slowly movin' across the bed He gets up without her wakin' To the voices in his head Through the shadows in the hallway To the room they painted blue And on the inside he is frightened At a loss for what to do Until he opens up his eyes And the angels all look down Even closer than this life Closer than your faith Closer than the things that you hold dearly And in vain Closer than this life Falling through again Giving more than anything That you could hope to win And he knows his life is changing It's never easy letting go For the first time you are mortal As the child before you grows And he wonders at the sight Of the joy that they have found Even closer than this life Closer than your faith Closer than the things that you hold dearly And in vain Closer than this life Falling through again Giving more than anything That you could hope to win And what would you intend to find? Solitude? Your peace of mind? Holding out for something less Than touching the hand of God? Even closer than this life Closer than this faith Closer than the things that you hold dearly And in vain Closer than this life Falling through again Giving more than anything That you could hope to win Closer than this life Closer finally Living for the only thing You ever made complete Oh, for the one thing That you both did perfectly
