[Verse 1] Lift my heart where shadows flee Higher still My soul would be Through the storm Your light I see Closer Lord To Your grace Closer Lord To Your grace
[Verse 2] When the night is long and cold When my strength begins to fold Hold me tight Your hand to hold Closer Lord To Your grace Closer Lord To Your grace
[Chorus] Oh Nearer Nearer Draw me near Wipe away each doubt and fear In Your love My heart will stay Closer to Your grace each day
[Verse 3] Through the trials Through the flame Still I call upon Your name Ever faithful Still the same Closer Lord To Your grace Closer Lord To Your grace
[Bridge] Though I wander Though I stray Guide my feet Show me the way In Your mercy Let me stay Closer Lord To Your grace
[Chorus] Oh Nearer Nearer Draw me near Wipe away each doubt and fear In Your love My heart will stay Closer to Your grace each day
