[Verse 1]
  Gmaj7             B7sus     Emaj7
I wake with this longing everyday
Gmaj7              B7sus        Emaj7 
Wanting to be near You, know Your ways
   Gmaj7/A       B7sus      Emaj7
But when I start think that sin has burned my bridges
Bm
   I'm reminded of Your promises to me

[Chorus 1]
      Gmaj7              B7sus        Emaj7
And I know neither death nor life can separate
       Gmaj7               B7sus  Emaj7
Jesus' blood is keeping me in the vicinity  
      Gmaj7/A                       B7sus       Emaj7           Bm
But I still want more, I’m like the deer that's panting for the water
All I'm asking of You is to be 
Gmaj7  B7sus      Emaj7
Close,      that’s all I wanna do is to be 
Gmaj7       B7sus      Emaj7
Close to You,    that’s all I want from You, yeah
Gmaj7/A  B7sus    Emaj7             Bm
            Singular desire, that’s what I'm after

[Verse 2]
  Gmaj7          B7sus      Emaj7
I realize that I drifted away
  Gmaj7           B7sus         Emaj7
Distracted by the worries of the day
            Gmaj7/A             B7sus     Emaj7
But You held Your position, You never moved
    Bm
Now I'm shifting my life to bring me closer to You

[Chorus 1]

[Bridge]
Gmaj7                   A        B
  I was slipping in the wrong direction
Gmaj7                A   B
Wondering why I felt isolation
    C 
But You never let me go
F#m7           B
You're calling me
    Bsus      B              Bsus  B
Now closer to You is where I wanna be
         Gmaj7                     F#m7     B7
Gotta be close, right here in Your presence
                 Gmaj7                  F#m7     B7
It's what I want most, I need You every second
C             F#m7  B7                        Em              
  Gotta be close,     draw me nearer blessed, Lord
       F#m7
I want You the most

[Chorus 2] [repeat as desired]
           Gmaj7  B7sus      Emaj7
I wanna be close,      that’s all I wanna do is to be 
Gmaj7       B7sus      Emaj7
Close to You,    that’s all I want from You, yeah
Gmaj7/A  B7sus    Emaj7             Bm
            Singular desire, that’s what I'm after
