"Closer To God" lyrics

I can tell you're ready, ready for it all
I wanna give it over but part of me can't trust the love, 'cause
The world's told me to hide, says our love is wrong
But I'm sick of holding up that story, now I'm done

Start to run but I stop my feet
Think of you, that's what I believe
You're worth it, all my faith
This time I will stay

I see your face and I'm home
Safe inside the love you've shown
'Cause in your arms
I'm closer to God
Nothing to change or push away
Hand in mine, I release the shame
Yes in your love
I'm closer, closer to God

All the years I tumbled, listening to shadows
Bending the Bible instead of letting in the light
Late nights with my head and my fist
Crying out for an answer to heal me from this
Wish I could have known that God was right here in your kiss

Used to run but I won't anymore
Can't turn my back on my heart like before
You're worth it, all my faith
This time I will stay

I see your face and I'm home
Safe inside the love you've shown
'Cause in your arms
I'm closer to God
Nothing to change or push away
Hand in mine, I release the shame
Yes in your love
I'm closer, closer to God
Closer to God, oh

And there's you in my view
Like a vision renewed
Not a block but a door
That I'm walking through
To God when I'm with you
And I'm done running from my truth

I see your face and I'm home
Safe inside the love you've shown
'Cause in your arms
I'm closer to God
Nothing to change or push away
Hand in mine, I release the shame
Yeah in your love
I'm closer, closer to God
Closer to God
I'm closer to God
