At the end of each day the thoughts of my heart are
One day closer, Lord, one day closer
I seems that this world is just falling apart
One day closer, Lord, one day closer
At the rise of the sum each morning I pray
Help my thoughts and my actions throughout this day
One day closer, Lord, one day closer.
The evident signs show that Christ will come soon
One day closer, Lord, one day closer
Am I doing what’s needed to meet the Bridegroom?
One day closer, Lord, one day closer
Sometimes I feel I’m just hanging on
when I want to be strong and pull others along
One day closer, Lord, one day closer
We should not fear, for the Savior is near
One day closer, Lord, one day closer
With hearts filled with cheer we’ll sing praises so clear
One day closer, Lord, one day closer
When all of our tears and our sorrows will end
And He will be here, our Savior and friend
One day closer, Lord, one day closer
The storms and the trials we’ve weathered and won
Bring us closer, Lord, one day closer
They’ll have cleansed us in preparation to meet the Son
One day closer, Lord, one day closer
When the glorious day is finally here
When Satan is bound for a thousand years
We will be grateful for even the tears that
Brought us closer, Lord
Closer
