KeyWords: Bible Characters,Christmas,

Verse One:
I said, "Take me with You from this place,
The burden's more than I can bear."
I slowly looked up in Your face
And saw a trace of sadness lying there.

Verse Two:
You said, "Giving up and running Home
Will bring you broken and ashamed.
My plan is through it all to grow
And learn to lean on Me and call My Name.

Chorus:
Burdens are for lifting,
Trials are for sifting.
Sadness breaks the hardest heart, and then,
Come closer, I will heal you.
Closer, 'til I feel your love,
And closer we'll become one once again,
Closer we'll become one once again.

Verse Three:
I said, "Jesus, seems like I just fall
And rise to fall again once more;
For all my will to give my all,
It seems I look up mostly from the floor."

Verse Four:
You said, "Though you've fallen seven times,
Or seventy times more, I love you still,
For the will to stand up one more time
Wanting most of all to do My will."

[Repeat Chorus]

Bridge:
Oh, Jesus, let me rest my weary soul upon Your shoulder,
Oh, let me nestle, as I weep, inside Your arms.
Oh, Jesus, how I need Your gentle waves of Love to calm me,
Cresting, falling on me soft and warm.

Ending Chorus:
"Come closer, I will heal you,
Come closer, 'til I feel your love,
And closer, we'll become one once again. "
[Whisper Word that thrill my soul!]
Closer we'll become one once again.
[Seeds of Love that make whole!]
Closer we'll become one once again.
[Come closer now, come closer!]
Closer we'll become one once again.
[Jesus, thrill my soul!]
Closer, we'll become one once again
[I need You now, come closer!...]
Closer we'll become one once again.
