Mais Perto Quero Estar

Closer I want to be
My God to you
Even if it's the pain
That unites me to you!

I will always plead
Closer I want to be
Closer I want to be
My God to you!

Living sadly here
In loneliness
Peace and rest to me
Your arms give

I will always plead
Closer I want to be
Closer I want to be
My God to you!

May my steps, then
Be steps to heaven
All trials
My benefit

I will always plead
Closer I want to be
Closer I want to be
My God to you!

So upon waking
Close to you
My afflictions
I will leave there

I will always plead
Closer I want to be
Closer I want to be
My God to you!

My soul will sing
To you, Lord
Full of gratitude
For your love

I will always plead
Closer I want to be
Closer I want to be
My God to you!
