I believe that we truly are only one phone call from our knees. Most of us have felt this where there isn’t anything you can do, but fall to your knees. I felt that once again, today.
Here’s a song written about that one phone call…

Closer to Love by Mat Kearney

She got the call today
One out of the gray
And when the smoke cleared
It took her breath away
She said she didn’t believe
It could happen to me
I guess we’re all one phone call
From our knees
We’re gonna get there soon
One out of the gray
And when the smoke cleared
It took her breath away
She said she didn’t believe
It could happen to me
I guess we’re all one phone call
From our knees
We’re gonna get there soon
.
If every building falls
And all the stars fade
We’ll still be singing this song
The one they can’t take away
I’m gonna get there soon
She’s gonna be there too
Cryin’ in her room
Prayin’ Lord come through
We’re gonna get there soon
And all the stars fade
We’ll still be singing this song
The one they can’t take away
I’m gonna get there soon
She’s gonna be there too
Cryin’ in her room
Prayin’ Lord come through
We’re gonna get there soon
.
Oh it’s your life
Oh it’s your way
Pull me out of the dark
Just to show me the way
Cryin out now
From so far away
You pull me closer to love
Closer to love
Oh it’s your way
Pull me out of the dark
Just to show me the way
Cryin out now
From so far away
You pull me closer to love
Closer to love
.
Meet me once again
Down off Lake Michigan
Where we could feel the storm blowing
Down with the wind
And don’t apologize
For all the tears you’ve cried
You’ve been way too strong now for all your life
Down off Lake Michigan
Where we could feel the storm blowing
Down with the wind
And don’t apologize
For all the tears you’ve cried
You’ve been way too strong now for all your life
.
I’m gonna get there soon
You’re gonna be there too
Cryin’ in your room
Prayin’ Lord come through
We’re gonna get there soon
You’re gonna be there too
Cryin’ in your room
Prayin’ Lord come through
We’re gonna get there soon
.
Oh it’s your life
Oh it’s your way
Pull me out of the dark
Just to show me the way
Cryin out now
From so far away
You pull me closer to love
Closer to love
Oh it’s your way
Pull me out of the dark
Just to show me the way
Cryin out now
From so far away
You pull me closer to love
Closer to love
.
Cause you are all that I’ve waited for
All of my life
(We’re gonna get there)
You are all that I’ve waited for
All of my life
All of my life
(We’re gonna get there)
You are all that I’ve waited for
All of my life
You pull me closer to love
Closer to love
Pull me closer to love
You pull me closer to love
Closer to love oh no
Closer to love
Closer to love
Closer to love
Pull me closer to love
You pull me closer to love
Closer to love oh no
Closer to love
Closer to love
Pull me closer to love
