Closer - Song Story
The process and journey in writing Closer was quite a surreal one, it is one of the songs I got the revelation way after I finished writing it.
So here is the heart behind the song!
"I had come to the end of myself
felt all hope was lost
Overwhelmed and confused
Then You came and wiped my years away
Gave me a song in the night
Silenced all my fears"
In our daily lives we sometimes go through rough patches, heartbreaks, dry seasons and we lose hope in the process and we come to the end of ourselves. As believers we sometimes try to find solutions to problems without looking to God, At times He will watch us fight and squirm. He will observe us struggle and wrestle until we come to the very end. He wants us at the place where we finally conclude it’s too much, where we just can’t take it anymore.
It’s when we finally give up that God is given the opportunity to take over and do His work, showing His solution When we go through these difficult periods in our lives we need to realize that God is closer than air we breathe, He is with us and He is all around us. We just need to let Him take control, when we call on the Name of Jesus, He responds with His Presence, holding our hand giving us courage, and leading us out of the fear. .
"And He [God] said, 'My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest." ~ Exodus 33:14
when we have no strength left in us when all the powers of mind and body should be exhausted, we can find our strength in Jesus..
"Though my heart and flesh may fail
You will always be my strength
You are closer than the air I breathe"
My flesh and my heart fail; But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever."- Psalm 73:26
It is our hope and prayer that this song may encourage you in your daily walk with Jesus Christ and that you may be awakened to the beautiful reality of His abiding presence.
It is our prayer that this song meets you equally on your greatest days, and on those days you feel forgotten. Just like Jacob finally waking from his dream to the realisation of God’s presence (Genesis 28), surely His presence awaits our awareness today.
