Am I close enough to hear Your very heartbeat
In a world of the calloused and the cruel
Am I close enough to share the love that I've received
So that someone may find the joy of knowing You
I want to walk day by day, enjoy the quiet times
To seek Your face and know Your mind

I want to be so close to You, Father
I want to be so close, so very close to You
That's the single thing that I want to do
Just to be so close

Am I close enough to feel Your Spirit breathe on me
As You're working out the wrongs to make them right
Am I close enough to hear You when You call my name
And then obey so You won't have to call me twice
I want to follow when You lead without asking why
I want to know Your peace for the rest of my life

So close to You, Father
I want to be so close, so very close to You
That's the single thing that I want to do

Lord, I just want to be so close to You, Father
I want to be so close, so very close to You
That's the single thing that I want to do
I want to be in Your will and not in Your way
I want to walk with You each and every day
I want to be the one that knows You
Almost as well as You know me, I want to be

I want to be so very close to You, Father
I want to be so close, so very close to You
That's the single thing that I want to do, Lord

I want to be so close to You, Father
I've got to be so close, so very close to You
That's the single thing that I want to do
Just to be so close

I want to be in Your will, not in Your way
I want to walk with You each and every
Each and every day
I want to know Your will
I want to know Your mind
I want to talk with You
Talk with you all of the time
