verse 1: 

(drum effect) 
Here I am once again 

Crying out on the floor. 

Trying to make sense 

Of this emptiness, once more 

I can't do this on my own. 

I'm in too deep, 

I should have known. 

I know You made me for 

So much more than this 


Em 
I've been running so fast 
                          A7 
Trying to get back to the start 
Em 
I've been holding so tight, 
                      A7 
But it all just comes apart. 
Em          D 
Pull me in, Break me down, 
Em          D 
Make me new and bring me 
Em             D      D      D      D      D 
Closer to Your heart, heart, heart, heart, heart x2 

verse 2: 

(drum effect again:) 
Help me be unafraid, 

Find my place where You are. 

Oh, You've always been enough, 

You're the light in the dark. 

Afraid of giving up control, 

You are there, but I let go. 

You're taking this brokenness, 

Making it beautiful. 


Em 
I've been running so fast 
                          A7 
Trying to get back to the start 
Em 
I've been holding so tight, 
                      A7 
But it all just comes apart. 
Em          D 
Pull me in, Break me down, 
Em          D 
Make me new and bring me 
Em             D      D      D      D      D 
Closer to Your heart, heart, heart, heart, heart 


Bridge: 

Em          A7 
Oh oh, make me come clean

Oh oh, You're all I need

Oh oh, bring me closer to Your heart, heart, heart. 
Em             D      D      D      D      D 
Closer to Your heart, heart, heart, heart, heart, 


Em 
I've been running so fast

But it all just comes apart.

Closer to Your heart, heart, heart, heart, heart
