Darden Smith - Closer To You lyrics

You would think I was born yesterday, the way I act sometimes Like I'd never heard your good message, deaf, dumb and blind Speak harsh to my children, impatient with my lover And that man on the street, he cut me off in traffic You should've heard me scream And just when I think I've pushed it too far Worried about the battle and blowing the war That's when I hear your voice in my ear with Love so simple, love so plain Coming down on me like the rain With sweet forgiveness no matter what I do And it makes me want to get just a little bit closer to you 'Cause Lord, I carry these demons, temptation, ooh I've had my fun But lately I've been thinking there's work to be done I know how to be gentle, it's just that I forget If someone makes me angry, someone's in a hurry I can just let them just rush on by and take that deeper breath Because this is the battle, yeah, this is the war This is really worth fighting for And I have no fear as long as you are near with Love so simple, love so plain Coming down on me like the rain With sweet forgiveness no matter what I do And it makes me want to get just a little bit closer to you These things I say and do I wish that you did not see I'm thanking you now for never giving up on me with Love so simple, love so plain Coming down on all of us like the rain With sweet forgiveness no matter what we do And it makes me want to get just a little bit closer to you, ooh, closer
