There's a new feeling abiding within me
It's the blessed truth of knowing I am free
It's the love of my dear Lord
And the power in his word
Guiding me from where I am to eturneity
Chorus:
I feel closer to heaven everyday
And I get one step higher when I pray
I'm so close truly I will never stray
I feel closer to heaven everyday
Well I know that this ole soul has been reborn
And my eyes have opened to the light of dawn
Darkness had to take it's flight
Then he filled my eyes with light
That's the reason why I'm singing a happy song
Chorus:Repeat x2
I feel closer to heaven everyday
