I wanna be closer to you
I wanna be your hearts desire
I wanna be number one
Even though you play me shy
I wanna be closer to you
I wanna be all you need
So wont you give me a try
And watch Me change your life
Its the 2-00-3 and I'm lovin it "B"
The blood covenant is still coverin my brothers and me
Though we all love urban livin
For us its not about "herbs" and "women"
It's bout spurtin the words of heaven
Lord something's still wrong with the picture
I'm workin for you daily but barely I'm gettin witcha
Something keepin me from gettin with You
Diggin in your Scripture for food where there's infinite truth
You get pushed to the side like when I'm cockin a brim
It's like we're on the couch but we're on opposite ends
Lord, come and put a stop to this friend, I'm lockin us in
Tonight it's me and You back in the pocket again
Goodness gracious Lord
Anybody in the hood every taste this before
Ever been chased by the Lord?
Embraced by the warmth of the Son
Then end up with their face on the floor
I love what you cooked up, to make me look up
Said I could pick your brain if I picked your book up
And ever since the day you and I hooked up
Life has been Super Fly like Jimmy Snuka
But I know you want more then Sundays, more then cliches
What you want is for me to obey
And if I cant give jack
You dont want my hands if my heart aint attached
Wit out my heart to match, my lip service is dead like artifacts
Though I call it worship
And with no ring on my hands and as a single young man
There's more to give and I can hear you sayin to me
I wanna be closer to you
I wanna be your hearts desire
I wanna be number one
Even though you play me shy
I wanna be closer to you
I wanna be all you need
So wont you give me a try
And watch Me change your life
Dad, I love you and you know it's true
But I dont show it all the time when I'm goin through
Its hard to stay in front of you
Focus aint easy, cats are greasy
The world's systems is set up to deceive me or leave me
I know where your love comes in
And I know for sure you gonna judge sin
So as I work through life and watch my doctrine closely
I stay close to you so you can get the most of me
Now if things feel different I'm the one trippin
If we seem distant I'm the one slippin
You're the same as You have always been and will be
Representin you is what fulfills me
God, I say you're the greatest light of my life
Your cross, the greatest sight of my life
When I believed, the greatest night of my life
Since then, its the greatest fight of my life, to get at You
That's why I'm so glad you dont do it like ... I
Patience and love, you dont do it like ... I
Forgiveness and stuff, you dont do it like ... I
Even though I play you shy
Cause I'm a model of the man
Who be followin the plan
But like the hood be sayin
"Yo holla at your man", You say "Holla at your God"
And read the love letter I inspired
You're never satisfied until you're with me
And it gets me: I study with zeal and energy
On a mission to affect the industry
Mature in the faith, and I'm active in the ministry
All that and I can still hear you sayin to me
I wanna be closer to you
I wanna be your hearts desire
I wanna be number one
Even though you play me shy
I wanna be closer to you
I wanna be all you need
So wont you give me a try
And watch Me change your life
