Just a Closer Walk with Thee
A Spiritual Journey: Walking Close to Thee with Corey Harris
Lyrics
Just a closer walk with Thee,
Expressing the desire for a closer spiritual connection with the divine.
Grant it, Jah, is my plea,
Pleading to God (Jah) for the requested closer walk.
Daily walking close to Thee,
Desiring to walk closely with God on a daily basis.
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be.
Submission to God's will, asking for His guidance and acceptance of the plea.
I am weak, but Thou art strong;
Acknowledging personal weakness but recognizing God's strength.
Jesus, keep me from all wrong;
Pleading for Jesus' guidance to avoid wrongdoing.
I'll be satisfied as long
Expressing contentment as long as the walk with God continues.
As I walk, let me walk close to Thee.
Asking to walk closely with God throughout life's journey.
Through this world of toil and snares,
Acknowledging the challenges and difficulties in the world.
If I falter, Lord, who cares?
Raising the question of caring and seeking God's support if faltering.
Who with me my burden shares?
Recognizing God as the sole bearer of burdens and source of support.
None but Thee, dear Lord, none but Thee.
Affirming the exclusive reliance on God in times of trouble.
When my feeble life is o'er,
Contemplating the end of mortal life.
Time for me will be no more;
Acknowledging the finite nature of time and life.
Guide me gently, safely o'er
Seeking God's guidance to safely navigate the transition to the afterlife.
To Thy kingdom shore, to Thy shore.
Expressing the desire to reach the kingdom of God in the afterlife.
