Nearer To Thee Lyrics


Will Butler Nearer To Thee

[Verse 1]
Offered me a ride to heaven
Never could decide
Wide awake but still I'm feeling
Something left behind

[Pre-Chorus]
I remember
I can't remember
Something in the air is [?]
Left them in the light
[Chorus]
When in my dreams I lay
Nearer my God to thee
Nearer my God to thee
Nearer to thee
Angels [to/still?] beckon me
Nearer my God to thee
Nearer my God to thee
Nearer to thee

[Verse 2]
[Here remains a stone to?] sorrow
Planted in the ground
In the shallow fields tomorrow
Nothing to be found

[Pre-Chorus]
I remember
I can't remember
Offered me a ride to heaven
Had to turn it down

[Chorus]
When in my dreams I lay
Nearer my God to thee
Nearer my God to thee
Nearer to thee
Angels [to/still?] beckon me
Nearer my God to thee
Nearer my God to thee
Nearer to thee
When in my dreams I lay
Nearer my God to thee
Nearer my God to thee
Nearer to thee
