I’m so close to being so far away from You

I was wrong, but it takes so much to say it to You

Like a broken husband and wife

Outside, creation groans
To lose our darkness and be made whole

For my feet are close to slipping
G D9 A
Speak to my heart in time
G D9 G Em
You have promised, so I do believe
G D9 A D9
You won’t forget this wandering child
Still, I’m so close to being so far away from You
Though I know no one on their own makes it through
My soul clings to the dust
So in Your life, let it be enough
G D9 G D9 G D9 A
I’m so foolish to believe that I can escape Your love
For my feet were close to slipping
You spoke to my heart in time....

You won’t forget this wandering child....

You’re so close when I feel far away from You
