Verse 1
          F         C                   G
I've been tired and weary, heading back home
                   F     C                       G
Never thought it'd be so hard walking the narrow road
                F         C                            G
Through all the toils and trials, Lord, You never left me
               F       C      G             C  F  C  G  C
So I'm finally closer, closer where I wanna be

Verse 2
  F           C                         G
A man's got a work, but the problem has been
           F          C                              G
I spent my whole life working instead of taking Your hand
                F      C                          G
Lord, won't You burn away all that keeps You from me
                F       C           G    C
I want You here closer, closer than anything

Chorus 1
                  F             C
So take me to the center of the fire
               G             C
Take me to the middle of the sea
                    F          C
Take me through the darkest of nights
               G          C
You can be the lamp to my feet
             F             C
Walk me over mountains and valleys
              G E7         C Am 
'Til I'm only hanging by a prayer
                F       C
If it brings me closer, closer
                G   C
You can take me anywhere

Verse 3
                  F   C                         G
What I know about fire, You use it to refine my heart
                      F     C
What I know about the ocean
                             G
When You tell it to part, it parts
                 F          C
Even through the darkest of nights
                  G
It draws me to my knees
                 F       C              G        C
And it brings me closer, closer, when I hear You speak

[Chorus 1]

Verse 4
      F            C                    G
There once lived a Man Who loved His enemies
    F                      C
The whole world mocked and laughed
          G
'Cause of what they couldn't see
       F      C                          G
He was closing on the truth that sets us free
            F             C
He said the poor shall be blessed
           G            C
And that's what I wanna be

[Chorus 1]

Chorus 2
                F     C                     G
Blessed are the broken, blessed are the weak
                F          C
Blessed are the hungry and thirsty
                       G
Blessed are those that seek
                F   C                        C/E     F
Blessed are the lonely, for they will have a love to spare
                        C
Blessed are the poor in spirit
           G          C
Lord, Your Kingdom is theirs
                F       C       G7          C [fake ending]
If it brings me closer, closer, take me anywhere
