Cinematic Intro

The dark came looking for me

But You were already here

Verse 1

I remember staring at the ceiling

Counting every shadow in the room

worst-case scenarios were building

Every fear pretending to be truth

And I was tired of rehearsing endings

Tired of carrying what I can't hold

Then Your voice cut through the silence

Like a hand reaching into the cold

Pre-Chorus

I don't know how the story ends

I just know Who's in it

I don't know what tomorrow brings

But I know You are infinite

Chorus

Closer than trouble

Closer than fear

Closer than every lie

Whispering in my ear

When the ground is shaking

When the road's unclear

I don't have to reach for You

You're already here

Closer than trouble

Verse 2

You never promised I would miss the valley

You never said the storm would pass me by

But You have never left me in the darkness

Not one tear has escaped Your eyes

Under the shadow of Your presence

I've found a shelter I can trust

And every time my strength is fading

Your faithfulness is more than enough

Pre-Chorus

I don't know how the story ends

I just know Who's in it

I don't know what tomorrow brings

But I know You are infinite

Chorus

Closer than trouble

Closer than fear

Closer than every lie

Whispering in my ear

When the ground is shaking

When the road's unclear

I don't have to reach for You

You're already here

Closer than trouble

Bridge

You are my refuge

You are my home

You are the peace

I've never earned

You stay beside me

Through every fire

Closer than trouble

Closer than my fear
