When I close my eyes

When I close my eyes
by Joel Howard

When I close my eyes I have a friend
Who says he is with me days without end
When I see him there flawless and in strength
Looking at my face staring into my eyes
When I look away from the world who is distracted
I see your fiery gaze and I know that you are with me
Closing my eyes, I understand true belonging
Find true intimacy, this One who really knows me
When I turn away from all that falls short
and behold my Father, my Lord
Fear and loneliness dies, when I look to you
When I close my eyes
