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 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
