Closer To You

CHORUSI wanna be closer to you

I wanna be your hearts desire

I wanna be number one

Even though you play me shy

I wanna be closer to you

I wanna be all you need

So wont you give me a try

And watch Me change your life

[The Ambassador]

Its the 2-00-3 and I'm lovin it "B"

The blood covenant is still coverin my brothers and me

Though we all love urban livin

For us its not about "herbs" and "women"

It's bout spurtin the words of heaven

Lord something's still wrong with the picture

I'm workin for you daily but barely I'm gettin witcha

Something keepin me from gettin with You

Diggin in your Scripture for food where there's infinite truth

You get pushed to the side like when I'm cockin a brim

It's like we're on the couch but we're on opposite ends

Lord, come and put a stop to this friend, I'm lockin us in

Tonight it's me and You back in the pocket again

[The Phanatik]

Goodness gracious Lord

Anybody in the hood every taste this before

Ever been chased by the Lord?

Embraced by the warmth of the Son

Then end up with their face on the floor

I love what you cooked up, to make me look up

Said I could pick your brain if I picked your book up

And ever since the day you and I hooked up

Life has been Super Fly like Jimmy Snuka

But I know you want more then Sundays, more then cliches

What you want is for me to obey

And if I cant give jack

You dont want my hands if my heart aint attached

Wit out my heart to match, my lip service is dead like artifacts

Though I call it worship

And with no ring on my hands and as a single young man

There's more to give and I can hear you sayin to me

CHORUS

[T.R.U.-L.I.F.E.]

Dad, I love you and you know it's true

But I dont show it all the time when I'm goin through

Its hard to stay in front of you

Focus aint easy, cats are greasy

The world's systems is set up to deceive me or leave me

I know where your love comes in

And I know for sure you gonna judge sin

So as I work through life and watch my doctrine closely

I stay close to you so you can get the most of me

Now if things feel different I'm the one trippin

If we seem distant I'm the one slippin

You're the same as You have always been and will be

Representin you is what fulfills me

[The Tonic]

God, I say you're the greatest light of my life

Your cross, the greatest sight of my life

When I believed, the greatest night of my life

Since then, its the greatest fight of my life, to get at You

That's why I'm so glad you dont do it like ... I

Patience and love, you dont do it like ... I

Forgiveness and stuff, you dont do it like ... I

Even though I play you shy

Cause I'm a model of the man

Who be followin the plan

But like the hood be sayin

"Yo holla at your man", You say "Holla at your God"

And read the love letter I inspired

You're never satisfied until you're with me

And it gets me: I study with zeal and energy

On a mission to affect the industry

Mature in the faith, and I'm active in the ministry

All that and I can still hear you sayin to me

CHORUS
