Mais Perto Quero Estar

Closer I want to be, my God, to You!
Even if it is pain that brings me closer to You
I will always plead
Closer I want to be
Closer I want to be
My God, to You!

Walking sad here in solitude
Peace and rest for me Your arms give
In the darkness, I will dream
Closer I want to be
Closer I want to be
My God, to You

My soul will sing to You, Lord!
And in Bethel, it will raise a standard of love
I will always plead
Closer I want to be
Closer I want to be
My God, to You!

And when Christ, at last, comes to call me
In the heavens, with seraphim I will dwell
Then I will rejoice
Closer to You, my King
Closer to You, my King
My God, to You!
