I decided I wanted to write a song that showed how great it felt to be in a close relationship with God. I also wanted it to be a little softer. Guys can write about stuff in a guy way, but I thought I’d take a chance at writing a song in a….”softer” light. Okay, that wasn’t REALLY it, but I was really trying to find a way to show just how great it felt being close to God. This is what I came up with.

So Close

Verse 1
Nestled in a crevice of love and trust
Clothed in Your beautiful design
Settling in to Your masterful plans
Material that’s lasted through time

Wonderfully intricate workmanship
My heart and my mind are both brand new
I never imagined just what it could mean
To be so close to You

Chorus
Cause Your love; undeniable
Your touch; indescribable
Too much for me to burn
So much more than I’ve earned

Lord, Your grace inconcievable
I could never run through
I’m amazed at the things I see you do
When I’m so close to You

Verse 2
Engulfed in a blanket of faithfulness
You’ve blessed me beyond all I know
I accept that You love me fully
Although I’d love me less

I am so wrapped up in Your smile
I’d love to stay and bask for awhile
You hold me
Don’t let go of me

Bridge
To delight myself in You
Is all I want to do
To have my desires become more like Yours
I’ll have to be, I’ll need to be
So close to You

Chorus
Cause Your love is undeniable
Your touch-indescribable
Too much for me to burn
So much more than I’ve earned

Lord Your grace inconceivable
I could never run through
I’m amazed at the things I see You do
When I’m so close to You
