I just want to be closer to you

4:34 PM |

Often times we get so caught up in life that we don’t have our priorities straight such as putting God first in our life. A lot of times I just have excuses of what I have let get in place of my devotions or whatever it is that I have put before God. But, ultimately, it’s not something that we can just acknowledge it’s something that we must fix. If our priorities are correct then everything that falls under it will be messed up too…it starts from the top and drips down. In order to set God first in our life we must have a desire to know and honor God.

My new favorite song is, Closer by Shawn McDonald

Looking for a color in a shade of gray
Looking for love in a drop of rain
Trying to find change in the old mundane
Everything I do just feels the same
Spending my life out in the desert
Then gone so long feels like forever

I just want to be closer to you
I just want to be closer, I am yours
You can have all of me anything, everything
I just want to be closer

A day without you is a thousand years
A day without you is a million tears
Tell me what I’m doing wrong when I’m in fear
Why do I run when you are so near
Spending my life out in the weather
Been gone so long and I need some shelter

Where ever you go
Where ever you are
I just want be there with you
I just want to be closer to you


The first time I heard this song it spoke to me in a lot of ways but mainly because it says what I yearn for--to be closer to God. Yes, something that seems so simple but yet has a huge impact on our life. My life goal is to serve Him and that when I die God says, "Well done my good and faithful servant."
