Close By

All creation held its breath
Couldn't wait for your arrival
Little baby so pure, so perfect, so much life
Tears of joy flowed from the heavens
At the sound of the first cry
That has echoed to this day
Stole my heart, swept me away

What is life without you
Close by me, close by me
What is life without you
Close by me, close by me

Holding on to the whole world
While being held, being cradled
So fragile, so small
What a gift, such a miracle
Shouts of joy shook up the heavens
When you walked for the first time
That has left a trail of grace
That I will follow, that I will chase

What is life without you
Close by me, close by me
What is life without you
Close by me, close by me

You came for me, you came for me
You came for me, you came for me
You came for me, you came for me
You came for me

A king laid in a manger, a king laid on a cross
Hope is here, truth has come
A king laid in a manger, a king laid on a cross
Hope is here, truth has come

What is life without you
Close by me, close by me
What is life without you
Close by me, close by me
