Closer

I used to pray to God

I used to scream His name

But all I got was pain

How did I get here

What went wrong

What did I do to you my God

I used to pray to God

I used to scream His name

But all I got was pain

Maybe I’m not praying right

Maybe my life won’t be bright

How can I believe in you

When nothing I want comes true

All I want is a family, a place to be when I get scared

That’s all I want of you

I never thought you were there for me

But now I do believe

I hear your voice guiding me

I see your face looking back at me

When you didn’t give me what I asked

You gave me you

You gave me life

You gave me hope

You brought me closer to you my God

Closer

Closer

Brought me closer

To

You.
