I Feel Closer to Heaven Everyday

There's a new feeling abiding within me
It's the bless of truth of knowing I am free
It's the love of my dear lord and the power in his word
Guiding me from where I am to eternity
I feel closer to heaven every day
And I get one step higher when I pray
I'm so close truly I will never stray
I feel closer to heaven everyday
Well I know that this old soul has been reborn
Had my eyes above it to the light of dawn
Darkness had to take its flight
Then he filled my eyes with light
That's the reason I'm singing this happy song

[Chorus] x 2
I feel closer to heaven every day
And I get one step higher when I pray
I'm so close truly I will never stray
I feel closer to heaven everyday
I feel closer to heaven everyday
