Close to the heart of God,
Light is shining bright;
Close to the heart of God,
Heavy burdens grow light.
Close to the heart of God,
The truth is always clear;
Close to the heart of God,
Faithful friends are near.
Close to the heart of God,
Compassion is never wrong;
Close to the heart of God,
Weary hearts grow strong.
Close to the heart of God,
Love fills redeemed lives;
Close to the heart of God,
Faith sees with open eyes!
