Closer Than My Chaos

[Verse 1]
Bills on the table
Phone going crazy again
Scrolling through headlines
Fear under my skin
I’m smiling on Sunday
But I’m breaking by Tuesday night
Telling my friends I’m fine
I’m losing the fight
[Pre-Chorus]
Then I hear that quiet answer
Right between my shallow breaths
Like a whisper in the fracture
Pulling me back from the edge
[Chorus]
You are closer than my chaos
Stronger than the storm in my head
You hold every falling piece
By a thread of grace instead
When I’m standing in the ruins
Of the plans I thought I knew
You are closer than my chaos
And my chaos runs to You
[Verse 2]
Traffic at midnight
Talk to the ceiling above
Questions on replay
Do You still call this love?
But You meet me in the middle
Of the doubt and the drifting mind
You’re steady in the shatter
The one thing I find
[Pre-Chorus]
Every fear becomes an altar
Every tear a kind of prayer
I don’t hide inside the anger
‘Cause I know that You are there
[Chorus]
You are closer than my chaos
Stronger than the storm in my head
You hold every falling piece
By a thread of grace instead
When I’m standing in the ruins
Of the plans I thought I knew
You are closer than my chaos
And my chaos runs to You
[Bridge]
You’re in the ache
You’re in the wait
You’re in the mess I made
(yeah, You’re in the mess I made)
You’re in the dark
You’re in the doubt
Lifting my heavy heart out
(oh, You’re lifting me out)
You never walk away
You never walk away
[Chorus]
You are closer than my chaos
Stronger than the storm in my head
You hold every falling piece
By a thread of grace instead
When I’m standing in the ruins
Of the plans I thought I knew
You are closer than my chaos
And my chaos runs to You
You are closer than my chaos
Jesus
I run to You
