Closer Walk With Thee Lyrics

Just a closer walk with Thee
Grant  it, Jesus, is my plea
Daily  walking close to Thee
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be

I am weak but Thou art strong
Jesus,  keep me from all wrong
I'll  be satisfied as long
As I walk, let me walk close to Thee

Through  this world of toil and snares
If I falter, Lord, who cares?
Who with me my burden shares?
None but Thee, dear Lord, none but Thee

When  my feeble life is o'er
Time for me will be no more
Guide me gently, safely o'er
To thy Kingdom's shore, to thy shore
See The Avett Brothers Live

  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
