F         C
I've been tired and weary
C             G
Heading back home
                   F      C
Never thought it'd be so hard

             Am     G
Walking the narrow road
                 F         C
Through all the toils and trials
C                   G
Lord You never left me
                F       C
So I'll follow closer, closer
    G            C         F   C    G   C
To where I wanna be

[Verse 2]
   F            C
A man's got to work
        C            G
But the problem has been
            F          C
I spent my whole life working
            Am          G
Instead of taking Your hand
                F       C
Lord won't You burn a - way
          C             G
All that keeps You from me

                  F      C
I want You here closer, closer
      G     C
Than any - thing

[Chorus]
                   F             C
So take me to the center of the fire
                 G            C
Take me to the middle of the sea
                      F         C
Take me through the darkest of nights
                G          C
You can be the lamp to my feet

                F            C
Walk me over mountains and valleys
                G              C
'till I'm only hanging by Your prayer

                  F      C
If it brings me closer, closer
                 G      C
You can take me any - where

[Verse 3]
                    F     C
What I know about fire
    C                   G
You use it to refine my heart

                       F     C
What I know about the ocean
                     Am       G
When You tell it to part it parts
                  F          C
Even though the darkest of nights

   C               G
It draws me to my knees
                   F       C
And it brings me closer, closer
        G         C
When I hear You speak

[Chorus 2]
                    F            C
So take me to the center of the fire
                 G            C
Take me to the middle of the sea
                     F          C
Take me through the darkest of nights
                G          C
You can be the lamp to my feet

               F            C
Walk me over mountains and valleys
                E7              Am7
'till I'm only hanging by Your prayer
                 F       C
If it brings me closer, closer

                 G     C
You can take me any - where

[Verse 4]
       F            C
There once lived a man
     C                G
Who loved his ene - mies
                 F           C
The whole world mocked and laughed

                     C        G
'cause of what they couldn't see
         F     C        C                 G
He was closeness,  the truth that sets us free
              F             C
He said "the poor shall be blessed"
           G             C
And that's what I wanna be

[Chorus]
                F             C
Take me to the center of the fire
                 G            C
Take me to the middle of the sea

                      F          C
Take me through the darkest of nights
                G          C
You can be the lamp to my feet
              F              C
Walk me over mountains and valleys

                 G              C
'till I'm only hanging by Your prayer
                 F       C
If it brings me closer, closer
                 G      C
You can take me any - where

[Bridge]
                 F      C
Blessed are the broken
                 C      G
Blessed are the weak
                 F          C
Blessed are the hungry and thirsty

             C          G
Blessed are those that seek
                 F      C
Blessed are the lonely
                      C7       F
For they will have a love to spare
                 F       C
Blessed are the poor in spirit
            G           C
Lord Your kingdom is theirs
                 F       C
If it brings me closer, closer
G                C
Take me any - where
