Verse 1

          F         C                   G

I've been tired and weary, heading back home

                   F     C                       G

Never thought it'd be so hard walking the narrow road

                F         C                            G

Through all the toils and trials, Lord, You never left me

               F       C      G             C  F  C  G  C

So I'm finally closer, closer where I wanna be



Verse 2

  F           C                         G

A man's got a work, but the problem has been

           F          C                              G

I spent my whole life working instead of taking Your hand

                F      C                          G

Lord, won't You burn away all that keeps You from me

                F       C           G    C

I want You here closer, closer than anything



Chorus 1

                  F             C

So take me to the center of the fire

               G             C

Take me to the middle of the sea

                    F          C

Take me through the darkest of nights

               G          C

You can be the lamp to my feet

             F             C

Walk me over mountains and valleys

              G E7         C Am 

'Til I'm only hanging by a prayer

                F       C

If it brings me closer, closer

                G   C

You can take me anywhere



Verse 3

                  F   C                         G

What I know about fire, You use it to refine my heart

                      F     C

What I know about the ocean

                             G

When You tell it to part, it parts

                 F          C

Even through the darkest of nights

                  G

It draws me to my knees

                 F       C              G        C

And it brings me closer, closer, when I hear You speak



[Chorus 1]



Verse 4

      F            C                    G

There once lived a Man Who loved His enemies

    F                      C

The whole world mocked and laughed

          G

'Cause of what they couldn't see

       F      C                          G

He was closing on the truth that sets us free

            F             C

He said the poor shall be blessed

           G            C

And that's what I wanna be



[Chorus 1]



Chorus 2

                F     C                     G

Blessed are the broken, blessed are the weak

                F          C

Blessed are the hungry and thirsty

                       G

Blessed are those that seek

                F   C                        C/E     F

Blessed are the lonely, for they will have a love to spare

                        C

Blessed are the poor in spirit

           G          C

Lord, Your Kingdom is theirs

                F       C       G7          C [fake ending]

If it brings me closer, closer, take me anywhere
