Close Song Story/Lyrics
In the midst of difficult seasons, it’s easy to question the nearness of God. Difficult times help us gain new perspective and mature in our walk with God. Even though God seemed distant at the time, we eventually realize He was always there. He holds on to us with everlasting arms of love (which causes the believer to fall deeper in love with God).
LYRICS
V1:
Calling out from this valley
I been needing You badly
Wanna feel that Your next to me
Remember, I use to feel so on fire
Now I just feel like a liar
Hoping You’ll come and rescue me
Cuz I been here with my hands up
On my knees I can’t stand up
Too much distance between us
Are You hearing my cry, hearing my cry?
I been so numb now
It’s like my heart has shut down
I don’t feel any love now
And I know You know why, know You know why
Hook:
Here we are
You’ve been with me through the valley
Now You feel so far
Feeling Lost
I’ve been going through these motions
Are You still with me at all?
I wanna be close to You
I wanna be close to You
You can take my heart and fill it up
Draw me in until I’m feeling
Close to You
V2:
Lost my passion and all my joy
You know all that I’m asking for
You sympathize with what I been through
But I been calling and where are You?
Just to be honest I’m so fed up
All this anger just won’t let up
Take me back to the very start
Light this darkness out of my heart
And when I feel like I can’t make it I can’t do it
That’s right where You want me so You can pull me through it
You’re taking my control though I’m trying to keep it
Your strength is perfected in my weakness
So take my idols and my distractions
That take my eyes off of your compassion
And fill me up with what I been lacking
And make me fall in love again
Hook
Bridge:
I will trust
In Your perfect love
I will trust
In Your perfect love
I will trust
In Your perfect love
I will trust
In Your perfect love

More Love Song Story/Lyrics:
True love reaches way beyond minor differences. Love sees others as they are, created in the image of God and valuable due to His image in them. Instead of judging others over minor differences, why don’t we unite around the main things? The church, along with our country, needs “a little more love”.
LYRICS
V1:
Ayo I just turned the news on its bad again
Why’s it always looking so bad my friend
Why it’s always feeling so dark and low
Like the whole world’s outta control
Ok let me explain it
We need action if we want changes
And that could be you if you start rearranging
Just a little love can go a long way and
We gotta stop all the hate now
Cuz you know that ain’t the way now
Eyes open we can see
We are all so unique
Take a step back & breathe
One Pops, all sister and brothers
All bleeding’ the same, we all need each other
Hate will never be the answer, love is
Gotta do what love does, gotta give what love gives
Hook:
Ain’t you sick and tired of fighting we had enough
Cuz you know all we need is just a little more love
So take all your walls and knock em down
Bury your hate and stop it now
Walk hand in hand in hope
Cuz love can change the globe
Sing it like na na n an a na
V2:
See we are all the same inside, can we agree we all need love?
Gotta learn to put aside these differences, learn not to judge
Why are we dividing over small things, yea
Why don’t we unite on the main things, yea
Keep the main things the main things, yea
That’s where you gon see a real change now ya
See we can’t change the way that we’re born
But we can change the way that we’re going
Direction got a little off base
It ain’t’ skin we united by faith
Got 1 Pops, all sister and brothers
all bleeding’ the same, we all need each other
Hate will never be the answer, love is
Gotta do what love does, gotta give what love gives
Hook:
Outro:
There ain’t nothing that could stop us
When we all unite just watch us
God is for us, yea He got us
We gon spread this love, fa show
There ain’t nothing that could stop us
When we all unite just watch us
God is for us yea He got us
Spread this message round the globe
