Closer To God chords by Anne Wilson

✝ Intro:

A    B    E/Ab  A



✝ Verse 1:
    A                         B
I thought the more I cleaned myself up
    E/Ab             A
The more worthy I'd be
                         B
I thought I had to draw near to Him
    E/Ab                A
For Him to draw back to me

✝ Pre-Chorus:
             F#m           B              E/Ab        A
But He's the breath in my lungs when I'm gasping for air
          F#m        B             E/Ab          A
He's the friend listening, holding my desperate prayers

✝ Chorus:
E
In every hour that felt too dark
   E/Ab
In every moment He felt far
      C#m
Every time I felt like He forgot
        A
Didn't know I was closer to God
   E
In every valley
He walked with me
   E/Ab
H? sealed my future, s t me free
   C#m
In every place I felt lost
        A
Didn't know I was closer to God

✝ Verse 2:
           A               B
'Cause He leans into the brokenhearted
      E/Ab           A
The whisper in the storm
                      B
And looking back to where I started
    E/Ab               A
The path revealed Him more

✝ Pre-Chorus:
          C#m         B   E/Ab         A
He's the tears in my eyes washing my soul
C#m             B         E/Ab          A
  And I had to lose it to know He's in control

✝ Chorus:
   E
In every hour that felt too dark
   E/Ab
In every moment He felt far
      C#m
Every time I felt like He forgot
        A
Didn't know I was closer to God
   E
In every valley
He walked with me
   E/Ab
H? sealed my future, s t me free
   C#m
In every place I felt lost
        A
Didn't know I was closer to God

F#m              B         E/Ab                 A
  And I had to feel alone      to learn that I wasn't

✝ Chorus:
   E
In every hour that felt too dark
   E/Ab
In every moment He felt far
      C#m
Every time I felt like He forgot
        A
Didn't know I was closer to God
   E
In every valley
He walked with me
   E/Ab
H? sealed my future, s t me free
   C#m
In every place I felt lost
        A
Didn't know I was closer to God
