Closer: Ceol Nua Episode 1
The song “Closer” came to me while sitting at my desk one day, and after about 1 hour, the song was for the most part finished. I was hesitant to put this as part of my first experiment, but I feel justified in doing it because, I finished writing this song only 1 month ago, and.. to date there are 2 people who have actually heard it… until now. This song speaks of the deep longing for relationship, my process of understanding my relationship with God, and the triumph over struggles with the greatness of God.
Closer by: Coty Sloan
It doesn’t always make sense, but I’m running.
This is a mountain with no peak, still I’m climbing
The thought of how it changed with a whisper, Oh the mystery in Your words.
And when I can’t even see you, still You’re drawing, drawing me
Just a little closer
And I’ll see you
And I’ll know you
Just a little closer
And I’ll see you
And I’ll know you
Like you want me to
Sometimes You slip away through my fingers, still I’m dreaming, awake
The ground became the sky when You touched me, how You moved me, so sweetly
Oh the universe it hears my heart shouting, a silent song that can describe this feeling.
Again I hear my name as it’s whispered, oh so softly, you’re calling me
Just a little closer
And I’ll see you
And I’ll know you
Just a little closer
And I’ll see you
And I’ll know you
Like you want me to
It’s like I’m meeting you for the first time
But it’s as though I’ve known You all my life
Now I’m living for these chances to meet You
Just to glance into your eyes
