Holy Ghost, won't you come close to me?
Holy Ghost, won't you come close to me?
Holy Ghost, kiss my eyes, I want to see!
I'm in need of your help!
In need of your hand!
In need of your love, Father
Ohhhhhhhhhhh
The lyrics of Cageless Birds' "Come Close" are an invocation for the Holy Spirit to draw near and reveal the divine presence to the singer. The repetition of the phrase "Holy Ghost, won't you come close to me?" emphasizes the urgency of the request. The use of the word "kiss" in the last line of the refrain creates a sense of intimacy and vulnerability, as the singer desires to see the world through the lens of the Holy Spirit's wisdom and guidance.
The second verse adds a layer of emotion to the plea for the Holy Spirit to draw near. The singer expresses a need for help, guidance, and love from a divine source. The repetition of the phrase "in need of" emphasizes the singer's dependence on the Holy Spirit for sustenance and purpose. The last line, "Ohhhhhhhhhhh," could be interpreted as a cry of desperation, longing, or surrender to the divine.

Every once in a while the Lord allows me to ‘sustain’ on a song, today, this was the song. I’ve listened to it quite a few times today. Love it.

I absolutely love this song. I've shared this video with so many people and it's currently number one (most listened to) song on my iPod.
My sister passed away in June. As she slipped away I sang this in her ear. I felt the Holy Spirit in the room. Thank you for such a beautiful song.

+Sandi Blankenship SOOO POWERFUL! hearing stuff like this brings tears to my eyes. I heard a similar comment on one of Johnathan's songs, about a girls mom passing away after the last verse of his song "Abba" :)

+Sandi Blankenship What a beautiful story, it brought me to tears. I have lost someone I love dearly and although it's comforting knowing that they go with the Lord, it still hurts. This is such a beautiful song and my current favorite as well. I just found it this week. God bless you and your family Sandi.
