Closer to God ft. Diane Lampkin Thomas & Anna Slaughter Lyrics

Closer to God

Draw me near

Nearer blessed Lord

To the Cross where thou hast died

Draw me nearer

Nearer blessed Lord

To thy precious bleeding side

I want to be closer to God

I want to be closer to God

I want to be closer to God

So that others may see Jesus in me

There was a time that I heard Your voice

And I ran the other way

Seeking the world's fortune and fame

Your will I would not obey

As I grew older and heeded Your voice

I can truly say that I thank You Lord God

For keeping me in Your way

I want to be closer to God

I want to be closer to God

I want to be closer to God

So that others may see Jesus in me

Study to show thyself approved unto God

I learned as a child

Your yoke is easy

Jesus merciful and mild

Give your life to Jesus

Why not trust Him today

I found that Jesus is the only way

I want to be closer to God

I want to be closer to God

I want to be closer to God

So that others may see Jesus in me

Draw me near

Nearer blessed Lord

To the Cross where thou hast died

Draw me nearer

Nearer blessed Lord

To thy precious bleeding side
