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
