Lyrics

Closer to You
In the light of Your glory
Lord I'm hungry for and
I know that You're calling me to...

Do what You want
And I know that You're for me (Romans 8:31)
Lord just use what I've got
To Your praise and your glory

To know that
Nothing can separate me from Your love Lord
Neither trouble or pain
Persecution or sword (Romans 8:35)

But yet
In all these things we have victory in You (Romans 8:37)
Cuz Lord we'll come out the end
And we'll see that Your true

Lord help us
Not to forget when You come to our rescue
You work all things for good
To your children who love you (Romans 8:28)

For the sufferings of this
Present time are not worth
When compared with what's new
When you come in Your glory (Romans 8:18)

Nice song guys.
I would have liked to hear more variation in the accompaniment.
Seeing that there is no refrain I was longing for some sort of change to help keep things interesting.
Also, take advantage of the stereo spread. Seems like most element were leaning to the left speaker. I'd like to hear more "stuff" in the right.

Overall - nice song - I just think it needs some variation.

Check out my latest song called Here With You - Better MIX
