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
