Lyrics

I am weak but thou are strong
Jesus keep me from all wrong
I'll be satisfied as long
As I walk, let me walk close to thee
Just a closer walk with thee
(Oh, my lord-ie, lord)
(Oh, my lord-ie, lord)
(Oh, my lord-ie, lord)
(Oh, my lord-ie, lord)
Grant it Jesus is my plea
(Oh, my lord-ie, lord)
(Oh, my lord-ie, lord)
(Oh, my lord-ie, lord)
(Oh, my lord-ie, lord)
Daily walking close to thee
(Oh, my lord-ie, lord)
(Oh, my lord-ie, lord)
(Oh, my lord-ie, lord)
(Oh, my lord-ie, lord)
Let it be, dear lord, let it be
(Oh, my lord-ie, lord)
(Oh, my lord-ie, lord)
(Oh, my lord-ie, lord-ie, lord)
(Just a closer walk with thee)
(Oh, grant it, Jesus, if you please)
(Just a closer walk with thee)
When my feeble life is over
(Oh, just a closer walk with thee)
(Just a closer walk with thee)
(Oh, just a closer walk with thee)
(Just a closer walk with thee)
Time for me will be no more
(Oh, just a closer walk with thee)
(Just a closer walk with thee)
(Oh, just a closer walk with thee)
(Just a closer walk with thee)
Guide me gently, safely over
(Just a closer walk with thee)
(Just a closer walk with thee)
(Just a closer walk with thee)
(Just a closer walk with thee)
To thy kingdom shore, to thy shore
(Just a closer walk with thee)
(Just a closer walk with thee)
(Just a closer walk with thee)
Just a closer walk with thee
(Oh, just a closer walk with thee)
(Just a closer walk with thee)
(Oh, just a closer walk with thee)
(Just a closer walk with thee)
Grant it Jesus is my plea
(Just a closer walk with thee)
(Just a closer walk with thee)
(Just a closer walk with thee)
(Just a closer walk with thee)
Daily walking close to thee
(Just a closer walk with thee)
(Just a closer walk with thee)
(Just a closer walk with thee)
Let it be, dear lord, let it be
(Just a closer walk with thee)
(Just a closer walk with thee)
(Just a closer walk with thee)
