Prompt / Lyrics
Verse 1 I was drivin’ down a long dirt road at sunset Dust rollin’ off them old truck tires Had the radio low and my mind full of worries Tryin’ to carry my own cross through the fire But the more I fought and tried to control it The more the weight pulled me down Then I heard that still small whisper Sayin’ Son, you ain’t gotta walk alone now Chorus The closer I get to the fire of Heaven The warmer this old heart feels The more I talk to the Man upstairs The more these broken pieces heal You can chase this world till your boots wear thin But peace ain’t found out there It’s in the quiet when you bow your head And leave your burdens in His care Yeah the stronger my walk with God becomes The lighter this road I’m on Turns out happiness was waitin’ there In the shadow of the cross all along Verse 2 I’ve seen money come and I’ve seen it leave me Watched proud men fall to their knees I’ve known nights where the whiskey was cheaper Than the truth that was callin’ me But grace showed up in my darkest hour Like sunrise breakin’ through rain And the more I lean on my Savior The less room there is for pain Chorus The closer I get to the fire of Heaven The warmer this old heart feels The more I talk to the Man upstairs The more these broken pieces heal You can chase this world till your boots wear thin But peace ain’t found out there It’s in the quiet when you bow your head And leave your burdens in His care Yeah the stronger my walk with God becomes The lighter this road I’m on Turns out happiness was waitin’ there In the shadow of the cross all along Bridge (slow, emotional gravel tone) Ain’t sayin’ life gets easy Storms still roll through town But when your hand’s in the hand of Jesus Even thunder can’t knock you down Final Chorus So I’m walkin’ closer to the fire of Heaven Letting faith light up my way Every prayer’s another step forward Every sunrise another day I don’t need the riches of this whole wide world Just mercy, grace, and truth ‘Cause the stronger my bond with the Lord above The more joy comes shining through Yeah the stronger my walk with God becomes The brighter these old skies are Turns out happiness was right there waitin’ Just followin’ my Savior’s heart Outro (spoken/gravelly fade) Yeah… the closer you walk with Him… the lighter that load gets, friend.
