[Verse 1]
You wrote Your law on tablets of stone
Then on our hearts
So we’re not alone
You said
“Have no other
I am the Lord”
Teach us to treasure every word
[Chorus]
I will walk in Your words
I will live what You say
Ten bright lights on a narrow way
I will love how You love
Turn from wrong to what’s true
When I follow Your commandments
I am closer
Lord
To You (oh, I’m closer, Lord, to You)
[Verse 2]
Moses climbed that mountain high
Got the word straight from the sky
Ten big rules for you and me
Set your spirit wild and free
Ten commandments yeah that’s the way
Guiding light for every day
Don’t you steal don’t you lie
Keep your eyes on the prize
[Chorus]
I will walk in Your words
I will live what You say
Ten bright lights on a narrow way
I will love how You love
Turn from wrong to what’s true
When I follow Your commandments
I am closer
Lord
To You (oh, I’m closer, Lord, to You)
[Verse 3]
Guard every promise
Honor Your name
Keep holy rest
Keep fires of faith
Love father
Mother
Keep hands from harm
Truth on our lips
Your law in our arms
[Chorus]
I will walk in Your words
I will live what You say
Ten bright lights on a narrow way
I will love how You love
Turn from wrong to what’s true
When I follow Your commandments
I am closer
Lord
To You (yeah, I’m closer, Lord, to You)
[Bridge]
Not to save myself by trying
But to show the grace You gave
Heart made new
Your Spirit guiding
Through each step
Through each day
[Chorus]
I will walk in Your words
I will live what You say
Ten bright lights on a narrow way
I will love how You love
Turn from wrong to what’s true
When I follow Your commandments
I am closer
Lord
To You (closer, Lord, to You)
[Chorus]
I will walk in Your words
I will live what You say
Ten bright lights on a narrow way
I will love how You love
Turn from wrong to what’s true
When I follow Your commandments
I am closer
Lord
To You (closer, closer)
I am closer
Lord
To You
