Heavens Getting Closer | Kenneth E Mills

HEAVEN'S GETTING CLOSER EVERY DAY Country Gospel Version Kenneth E. Mills “Heaven’s Getting Closer Every Day” is a joyful reminder that every day we live brings us one day closer to home. As the years pass, there may be more road behind us than there is ahead. We carry memories of where we've been, people we've loved, and some who have already gone on before us. But for the believer, growing older doesn't have to mean simply looking backward. There is still life to live, a song to sing, a testimony to share, and a Savior to praise. This Country Gospel version celebrates that hope with a little more energy—a song for somebody who has come too far to turn around and intends to keep walking, singing, and living for the Lord all the way home. One day, faith will become sight. We'll see the One who has kept us by His grace, and we'll see those we've loved who've gone before. But until then, there's still some living left to do. Heaven was closer this morning than it was yesterday. And tomorrow, it'll be closer still. 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!
