There's a new feeling abiding within me It's the blessed truth of knowing I am free It's the love of my dear Lord And the power in his word Guiding me from where I am to eturneity Chorus: I feel closer to heaven everyday And I get one step higher when I pray I'm so close truly I will never stray I feel closer to heaven everyday Well I know that this ole soul has been reborn And my eyes have opened to the light of dawn Darkness had to take it's flight Then he filled my eyes with light That's the reason why I'm singing a happy song Chorus:Repeat x2 I feel closer to heaven everyday
