Closer to You

This song has a double meaning for me.  It reminds me that every day I'm a day closer to both my Lord and my son.

Lyrics:

Closer to me
I'm tired and I'm weak
Every breath within me
Is longing just to be

Closer to You

So I face the road ahead
Cause I know there's no comparing
To what's waiting at the end

Let the rain start falling where it will
I will run through this valley just to climb to that hill
If they ask why I'm smiling after all I've been through
It's cause I'm just a day closer to you

Closer to me
I hear you whisper on the wind
You say although my life is fading
A new one will begin

Closer to You
And I know I'm not alone
Cause I can hear you in the distance
Saying, "You are nearly home."

Let the rain start falling where it will
I will run through this valley, just to climb to that hill
If they ask why I'm dancing though my days may be few
It's cause I'm just a day closer to You

Closer to me
You're in the laughter and the tears
Of the ones I leave behind me
Who have prayed me through the years

Closer to You
And I know it won't be long
Til You're running down the pathway
Just to take me in Your arms

Let the rain start falling where it will
I will run through this valley just to climb to that hill
If they ask why I'm singing though my life's almost through
It's cause I'm just a day closer, I'm just a day closer
I'm just a day closer to You
