There is no life without you
You have all that we need
Where you are every fear is broken
And the darkness must flee
Closer and closer we want to know you
Reaching out
Reaching out
Here in your presence
We want to go deeper
In your light
Come alive
There is no one beside you
You alone are enough
Fling the doors of your heart wide open
We are lost in your love
Closer and closer we want to know you
Reaching out reaching out
Here in your presence
We want to go deeper
In your light
Come alive
Closer and closer we want to know you
Reaching out
Reaching out
Here in your presence
We want to go deeper
In your light
Come alive
To you we will come running
In you we find belonging
Your love is all that can satisfy
To you we will come running
In you we find belonging
Your love is all that can satisfy
To you we will come running
In you we find belonging
Your love is all that can satisfy
To you we will come running
In you we find belonging
Your love is all that can satisfy
Closer and closer we want to know you
Reaching out
Reaching out
Here in your presence we want to go deeper
In your light
Come alive
About This Song
"Closer" is an intimate worship anthem that expresses a deep longing for spiritual proximity and connection with God, built around themes of divine refuge, love, and transformation. The lyrics convey a journey from fear and darkness into God's overwhelming presence, where believers find safety, belonging, and life itself. Musically, the song features Hillsong's signature contemporary worship style with building dynamics, layered vocals, and an emotionally crescendoing arrangement that mirrors the spiritual ascent described in the lyrics. The repetitive "closer and closer" refrain creates a meditative, prayer-like quality that invites congregational participation and personal reflection. As part of the "Glorious Ruins" album, it exemplifies Hillsong's ability to craft accessible yet profound worship experiences that resonate both in church settings and personal devotion. The song's emphasis on running toward God rather than away from problems offers a distinctive message of spiritual courage and trust.
