Song Lyrics

---

Lord, we deny all we were
We turn our backs on this world
To follow You, we give You all our lives
Oh, You chose us as Yours
Said we were worth dieing for
Adopted sons and daughters through Jesus Christ
You are the way, the truth
We find life and love in You

So we come closer to You
And closer to who
You always meant us to be
As we come closer to You
We come closer to each other
In the unity of the redeemed

Lord, help us to love You will all our hearts
All our soul, strength, mind, and all we are
For we know that You are our only treasure
Only in You can we truly love each other
For it is You we adore and not another
Fill us with Your love beyond measure
You are the way, the truth
We find life and love in You

So we come closer to You
And closer to who
You always meant us to be
As we come closer to You
We come closer to each other
In the unity of the redeemed

Be Thou in us, our God
And may we be in Thee
Unite us in Your love, our Father
That the world may belive

So we come closer to You
And closer to who
You always meant us to be
As we come closer to You
We come closer to each other
In the unity of the redeemed
