I wanna be close to You, in Your arms
I wanna be near to You, never far
I wanna be held by You, safe inside
Forever in love with You, my Lord, my God
Forever in love with You

Every day I try to run away from You
When I forget to satisfy myself only in You
And for a while I seem to be okay without You
But pretty soon in desperate ruin and decay
I find myself looking back to You
I find myself running back to You

I wanna be close to You, in Your arms
I wanna be near to You, never far
I wanna be held by You, safe inside
Forever in love with You, my Lord, my God
Forever in love with You

The pleasures of this world have left me high and dry
They've taken everything I ever had and left me to die
Now I understand that You alone satisfy
But how can I undo the wrong that I have done
Forgive me Lord, I'm looking back to You
Embrace me Lord, I'm running back to You

I wanna be close to You, in Your arms
I wanna be near to You, never far
I wanna be held by You, safe inside
Forever in love with You, my Lord, my God
Forever in love with You
