Anne Wilson - Closer To God

Capo: 2nd fret

[Intro]
A A# E/G# A

[Verse 1]
A A#
I thought the more I cleaned myself up
E/G# A
The more worthy I’d be
A#
I thought I had to draw near to Him
E/G# A
For Him to draw back to me

[Pre-Chorus]
F#m A# E/G# A
But He’s the breath in my lungs when I’m gasping for air
F#m A# E/G# A
He’s the friend listening, holding my desperate prayers

[Chorus]
E
In every hour that felt too dark
E/G#
In every moment He felt far
C#m
Every time I felt like He forgot
A
Didn’t know I was closer to God
E
In every valley, He walked with me
E/G#
He sealed my future, set me free
C#m
In every place I felt lost
A
Didn’t know I was closer to God

[Verse 2]
A A#
‘Cause He leans into the brokenhearted
E/G# A
The whisper in the storm
A#
And looking back to where I started
E/G# A
The path revealed Him more

[Pre-Chorus]
C#m A# E/G# A
He’s the tears in my eyes washing my soul
C#m A# E/G# A
..And I had to lose it to know He’s in control

[Chorus]
E
In every hour that felt too dark
E/G#
In every moment He felt far
C#m
Every time I felt like He forgot
A
Didn’t know I was closer to God
E
In every valley, He walked with me
E/G#
He sealed my future, set me free
C#m
In every place I felt lost
A
Didn’t know I was closer to God

[Bridge]
F#m A# E/G# C#m
…I had to lose hope……to finally stop runnin’
F#m A# E/G# A
…And I had to feel alone……to learn that I wasn’t

[Chorus]
E
In every hour that felt too dark
E/G#
In every moment He felt far
C#m
Every time I felt like He forgot
A
Didn’t know I was closer to God
E
In every valley, He walked with me
E/G#
He sealed my future, set me free
C#m
In every place I felt lost
A
Didn’t know I was closer to God

[Outro]
C#m A# E/G# A
He’s the friend listening, holding my desperate prayers
