Never mind your circumstance,
You might be rich, you might be poor, still your heart cries out for love,
Once you've tasted of it you hunger for more,
And I am no different; seems I'm hungry all of the time,
Do you have enough to share with me'
I'll share with you some of mine.

So put your arms around me, I'll put my arms 'round you,
Greet me with a holy kiss; I'll greet you with one too,
Oh, don't let go, and keep me in your sight,
For there is no place closer to Heaven than here with you tonight.

God is not hiding someplace far away from you and me, watching from a distance, as some would say,
God, in his mercy, is here,
Love in conquering sorrow, bringing hope to my tomorrow,
He's the love within this place, he's the smile upon my face.

So put your arms around me and I'll put my arms round you,
Greet me with a holy kiss; I'll greet you with one too,
Oh, don't let go, and keep me in your sight,
For there is no place closer to Heaven,
No place closer to Heaven,
Oh, there is no place closer to Heaven than here with you tonight.
