Closer to God by Chris Spinelli Lyrics
Verse 1:
There's calm seas out on this boat tonight
No storm in sight, no evil plight, everything it seems alright
There's no worries that my ship will run aground
No stirring sound, no nothing loud, only peace it now abounds
Pre-Chorus:
But there's a storm on the horizon
And the waves they are arising
These trials threaten my soul
But there's one thing that I know
Chorus:
And though the storms may surround me
And the waves they come up high
Beginning to sink I cry out
But Jesus is close by and He reminds me
Though the trials of life seem hard to bear
And sometimes lead us to despair
They only serve to draw us closer to God
The trials are meant to draw us closer to God
Verse 2:
And now as I travel along this pilgrim way
The winds they sway, yes every day, but to Jesus they do obey
Pre-Chorus:
So when a storm is on the horizon
And the waves they are arising
These trials may threaten my soul
But there's one thing that I know
Chorus:
And though the storms may surround me
And the waves they come up high
Beginning to sink I cry out
But Jesus is close by and He reminds me
Though the trials of life seem hard to bear
And sometimes lead us to despair
They only serve to draw us closer to God
The trials are meant to draw us closer to God
Bridge:
And when a trial it comes along
God gives me a song
Fear doesn't have a place
Cause with Jesus I am safe
Chorus:
And though the storms may surround me
And the waves they come up high
Beginning to sink I cry out
But Jesus is close by and He reminds me
Though the trials of life seem hard to bear
And sometimes lead us to despair
They only serve to draw us closer to God
The trials are meant to draw us closer to God
There's calm seas out on this boat tonight
No storm in sight, no evil plight, everything it seems alright
There's no worries that my ship will run aground
No stirring sound, no nothing loud, only peace it now abounds
Pre-Chorus:
But there's a storm on the horizon
And the waves they are arising
These trials threaten my soul
But there's one thing that I know
Chorus:
And though the storms may surround me
And the waves they come up high
Beginning to sink I cry out
But Jesus is close by and He reminds me
Though the trials of life seem hard to bear
And sometimes lead us to despair
They only serve to draw us closer to God
The trials are meant to draw us closer to God
Verse 2:
And now as I travel along this pilgrim way
The winds they sway, yes every day, but to Jesus they do obey
Pre-Chorus:
So when a storm is on the horizon

But Jesus is close by and He reminds me
Though the trials of life seem hard to bear

They only serve to draw us closer to God
The trials are meant to draw us closer to God
