Verse 1

I thought the more I cleaned myself up
The more worthy I'd be
I thought I had to draw near to Him
For Him to draw back to me

Pre Chorus 1

But He's the breath in my lungs
When I'm gasping for air
He's the friend listening
Holding my desperate prayers

Chorus 1

In every hour that felt too dark
In every moment He felt far
Every time I felt like He forgot
Didn't know I was closer to God

Chorus 2

In every valley He walked with me
He sealed my future set me free
In every place I felt lost
Didn't know I was closer to God

Verse 2

'Cause He leans into the brokenhearted
The whisper in the storm
And looking back to where I started
The path revealed Him more

Pre Chorus 2

He's the tears in my eyes
Washing my soul
And I had to lose it
To know He's in control

Chorus 1

In every hour that felt too dark
In every moment He felt far
Every time I felt like He forgot
Didn't know I was closer to God

Chorus 2

In every valley He walked with me
He sealed my future set me free
In every place I felt lost
Didn't know I was closer to God

Bridge

I had to lose hope
To finally stop running
And I had to feel alone
To learn that I wasn't

Chorus 1

In every hour that felt too dark
In every moment He felt far
Every time I felt like He forgot
Didn't know I was closer to God

Chorus 2

In every valley He walked with me
He sealed my future set me free
In every place I felt lost
Didn't know I was closer God

Outro

He's the friend listening
Holding my desperate prayers
