Sometimes I wanna be so close That I could reach out and touch you Sometimes I feel so certain That I really haven't got a clue I get so close that the image is distorted I forget to see you in the light of Glory I need to practice proper distance Remembering that who you are Is what makes me what I am You are my brother, you are my best friend Beloved and cherished 'till the very end But you are Prince of Peace, King of Kings The Son of Man, Great I AM, you are God Sometimes I feel so very far away This distance feels too great You have bridged the gap to bring me back Back in your arms and close to your heart And I am near to you once again In the silence of my soul, you call me Open my ears Lord, that I might hear And with the eyes of faith, I can see That I can obey without great fear You gave me your heart now here is my soul Though storms may come I will not be shaken For the Lord My God is my firm foundation May I never be so familiar as to forget where you stand and before whom I sit. May I never be so comfortable as to forget to give you the respect and reverence you so rightly deserve. May I never be so foolish as to think I truly know you, for who can truly comprehend the mind of God? My Lord and My God have mercy on me and forever bless my soul! Amen

Proper Distance
Sometimes I wanna be so close That I could reach out and touch you Sometimes I feel so certain That I really haven't got a clue I get so close that the image is distorted I forget to see you in the light of Glory I need to practice proper distance Remembering that who you are Is what makes me what I am You are my brother, you are my best friend Beloved and cherished 'till the very end But you are Prince of Peace, King of Kings The Son of Man, Great I AM, you are God Sometimes I feel so very far away This distance feels too great You have bridged the gap to bring me back Back in your arms and close to your heart And I am near to you once again In the silence of my soul, you call me Open my ears Lord, that I might hear And with the eyes of faith, I can see That I can obey without great fear You gave me your heart now here is my soul Though storms may come I will not be shaken For the Lord My God is my firm foundation May I never be so familiar as to forget where you stand and before whom I sit. May I never be so comfortable as to forget to give you the respect and reverence you so rightly deserve. May I never be so foolish as to think I truly know you, for who can truly comprehend the mind of God? My Lord and My God have mercy on me and forever bless my soul! Amen
