Close

When I wake up,
and my mind tries to be grateful for waking up,
but in my heart I want to go back to sleep,
I decide not to fight my heart and close my eyes.

I had thought it great to be grateful, and perhaps, it is truly great,
but with my eyes closed, I just want to be close, close to our God.

When I get a bit closer, a little bit closer
I can feel the love and peace, coming from outside
and moving in, into my soul

I pray for my soul, my soul prays for me
I just want to be in tune with love
in tune with peace,
guided by love
guided by peace

And then I feel the gratefulness welling up
I feel like waking up and be alive
Alive in love, living love
loving and caring
guided by our God.
