So Close Yet So Far

Why?
Why do we feel close?
Yet we feel so Far?



In our every day lives
In you spiritual lives
We feel close
Yet so far
And it makes it so hard

We talk to friends
We tell them our secrets
Our pains
Our stories

During this time its great
Its awesome
Its nice
WE feel close

But at the same time
Creeping in the back of our mind
We feel something different
Something we cant quite place
Something we cant quite find

We feel far
Like they don’t know us
Like eternity is between us
Like a distant star

We shine bright
We are admired
We look closer than we are
But snap back to reality
We realize that we are far
That no one knows us

God is kinda like that
At moments we feel so close
Yet we feel hes far away
But God is different
Hes special

He wont leave
He wont stray
Hes always there
Everyday

We don’t need to see him to know that hes close
We just need to feel him
Its almost like a ghost

We may not be able to look at him
Or Touch
But we can feel him
All around us

Friends will go
Friends will fail
It starts to hurt
It feels like theres no avail

But that’s not true
That’s just a lie
God is always there
Always there by our side
