Lyrics Closer My God - Mikko Joensuu

Closer My God

Cry, won’t you cry?
For I’ve never seen anyone cry quite like you cry
Smile, won’t you smile?
For I’ve never seen anyone smile quite like you smile
I laid down my burden, when I lay I feel uncertain
Cause I don’t feel the burden’s gone at all
There’s still a mountain on my shoulders
And I think it ought to be moved
I raise my arms
For it won’t be long when it all falls apart
And I won’t be around here when it does
So say what’s needless to say
Devil and his armies must be on their way
Will I be saved, I sing redemption songs
I was baptized in blood but I’m not sure to whom it belongs
I laid down my burden, when I lay I feel uncertain
Cause I don’t feel the burden’s gone at all
There’s still a mountain on my shoulders
And I think it ought to be moved
I raise my arms
For it won’t be long when it all falls apart
And I won’t be around here when it does
I’ll lay down my head
For everything’s been done and everything’s been said
And when I’ll be gone, there’s no point to go and raise the dead
I’m closer, my God, I’m closer now
I’m closer, whatever you want to call home
And this time, my love, you won’t be coming alone
I’m closer, my God, I’m closer now
I’m closer, whatever you want to call home
And this time, my friend, you won’t be coming alone
So smile, won’t you smile?
For I’ve never seen anyone smile quite like you smile
