How’s one get close to You Lord I reckon it’s sailing a sea of your making to a land full of people of your making preaching words I only half believe maybe then I’ll believe them Maybe its singing hymns full of words I’m not acquainted with in room full of your making faking a smile How’s one get close to You Lord I reckon it’s making mends on promises I can’t keep or apologizing for things I’m not apologetic for I reckon I’ve got an inkling on how but knowing is different then doing and I reckon You know I’ve never been good for it How’s one get close to You Lord I reckon it’s throwing away glass bottles and keeping my savings from chips destined for loss or could I find You in them instead maybe I’ll hit concrete on a February night before I do or maybe I’ll find You in a nice lady with a warm smile How’s one get close to You Lord I reckon if I can bow my head sincerely enough in some pews get acquainted with Your word and stop the pessimistic thoughts that echo through my head I can find a light and see You true maybe then Lord I’ll be close to You
