No Place Closer to Heaven
Embracing Love: A Journey to Heaven in Charlie Peacock's Melody
Lyrics
Never mind your circumstance
Disregard your current situation or conditions
You might be rich, you might be poor
Regardless of wealth or poverty
Still your heart cries out for love
Desire for love persists in the heart
Once you've tasted of it you hunger for more
Experiencing love intensifies the longing for more
And I am no different, seems I'm hungry all of the time
The continuous hunger for love
Do you have enough to share with me?
Asking if there's enough love to share
I'll share with you some of mine
Willingness to reciprocate and share love
So put your arms around me, I'll put my arms 'round you
Mutual embrace, a symbol of unity and support
Greet me with a holy kiss, I'll greet you with one too
Expressing affection and connection
Oh, don't let go and keep me in your sight
Desire to remain close and not be separated
For there is no place closer to Heaven than here with you tonight
Emphasizing the closeness to Heaven in the presence of a loved one
God is not hiding someplace far away from you and me
God isn't distant but present among us
Watching from a distance, as some would say
Rejecting the idea of a distant God
God, in his mercy, is here
God's merciful presence acknowledged
Love in conquering sorrow, bringing hope to my tomorrow
Love triumphs over pain, offering hope
He's the love within this place, he's the smile upon my face
God's love reflected in the environment and joy
So put your arms around me and I'll put my arms round you
Repeated emphasis on mutual support and unity
Greet me with a holy kiss, I'll greet you with one too
Continued expression of affection and connection
Oh, don't let go and keep me in your sight
Request to remain together, not losing sight
For there is no place closer to Heaven, no place closer to Heaven
Reaffirming the closeness to Heaven in companionship
Oh, there is no place closer to Heaven than here with you tonight
Reiteration of feeling close to Heaven in the presence of a loved one
