Closer My God - Mikko Joensuu

Cry, won’t you cry?

For I’ve never seen anyone cry quite like you cry

Smile, won’t you smile?

For I’ve never seen anyone smile quite like you smile

I laid down my burden, when I lay I feel uncertain

Cause I don’t feel the burden’s gone at all

There’s still a mountain on my shoulders

And I think it ought to be moved

I raise my arms

For it won’t be long when it all falls apart

And I won’t be around here when it does

So say what’s needless to say

Devil and his armies must be on their way

Will I be saved, I sing redemption songs

I was baptized in blood but I’m not sure to whom it belongs

I laid down my burden, when I lay I feel uncertain

Cause I don’t feel the burden’s gone at all

There’s still a mountain on my shoulders

And I think it ought to be moved

I raise my arms

For it won’t be long when it all falls apart

And I won’t be around here when it does

I’ll lay down my head

For everything’s been done and everything’s been said

And when I’ll be gone, there’s no point to go and raise the dead

I’m closer, my God, I’m closer now

I’m closer, whatever you want to call home

And this time, my love, you won’t be coming alone

I’m closer, my God, I’m closer now

I’m closer, whatever you want to call home

And this time, my friend, you won’t be coming alone

So smile, won’t you smile?

For I’ve never seen anyone smile quite like you smile
