Mais Perto, Meu Deus, de Ti
Mattos Nascimento
Closer, My God, to Thee
Closer
I want to be, my God, with you!
Even if it is the pain
That unites me to you
I will always plead
I want to be closer
I want to be closer, my God, with you!
Walking sadly
Here in solitude
Peace and rest
Your arms give to me
In the darkness I will dream
I want to be closer
I want to be closer, my God, with you!
My soul will sing to you, Lord!
And in Bethel will raise a standard of
Love
I will always pray
I want to be closer
I want to be closer, my God, with you!
And when Christ
Finally comes to call me
To the heavens, with seraphim I will
Dwell
Then I will rejoice
Close to you, my king
Close to you, my king, my God with you!
