Heavens Getting Closer | Kenneth E Mills 1

HEAVEN'S GETTING CLOSER EVERY DAY Contemporary Worship Version Kenneth E. Mills “Heaven’s Getting Closer Every Day” is a song about looking forward with faith while still living fully in the days God has given us here. The road behind us holds memories, victories, heartaches, and people we love. Some of those we once walked beside have already gone on before us. And as the years pass, we begin to understand something we couldn't fully understand when we were younger—every day brings us a little closer to home. This Contemporary Worship version allows those words to settle into a different place. It is less about counting the years behind us and more about resting in the promise ahead of us. One day, what we have believed by faith we will see with our own eyes. We'll see the One who has kept us by His grace. We'll see those we've loved who've gone before. But this song isn't about simply waiting for Heaven. There is still some living left to do. Still a song to sing. Still a testimony to share. Still another day to praise Him. Until faith becomes sight, we'll keep walking. And Heaven keeps getting closer every day. Written by Kenneth E.

Every morning brings me one day nearer, And somehow Heaven's looking a little clearer; So I'll lift my voice, I've got a song to say— Heaven's getting closer every day! [Chorus] Heaven's getting closer every day, I'm a little nearer home than yesterday; I've come too far to turn around, My feet are standing on solid ground, So I'll keep walking on my way— Heaven's getting closer every day! [Verse 2] Some count the years by the silver in their hair, Some count the friends who are already over there; And nobody knows when the Lord will call their name, But His promise of forever will always stay the same. So while there's breath, there's a reason I can sing, I'll keep on living for my Savior and my King; I'm not sitting here just waiting for that day— I'm living while Heaven gets closer every day! [Chorus] Heaven's getting closer every day, I'm a little nearer home than yesterday; I've come too far to turn around, My feet are standing on solid ground, So I'll keep walking on my way— Heaven's getting closer every day! [Verse 3] One day I'll see what I've only seen by faith, I'll look upon the One who's kept me by His grace; I'll see the ones I've loved who've gone on before, And hear the sound of welcome when I reach that shore. But until then, there's still some living left to do, Still a song to sing and a testimony too; So I'll praise Him with every breath He gives today— While Heaven keeps getting closer every day! [Final Chorus] Heaven's getting closer every day, I'm a little nearer home than yesterday; I've come too far to turn around, My feet are standing on solid ground, So I'll keep walking on my way— Heaven's getting closer every day!
