I Feel Closer To Heaven Everyday

There's a new feeling abiding within me
 It's the blessed 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 every day
 ♪
 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 why I'm singing a happy song
 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 every day
 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 every day
 I feel closer to Heaven every day
