Mais Perto Quero Estar

Closer I want to be
My God, with you!
Even if it's the pain
That unites me to you
I will always plead
Closer I want to be
Closer I want to be
My God, with you!

Walking sadly here
In loneliness
Peace and rest to me
Your arms give
In the darkness I will dream
Closer I want to be
Closer I want to be
My God, with you

My soul will sing to you, Lord!
And in Bethel will raise
A standard of love
I will always pray
Closer I want to be
Closer I want to be
My God, with you!

And when Christ, finally
Comes to call me
In heaven with seraphim
I will dwell
Then I will rejoice
Close to you, my King
Close to you, my King
My God, with you!
