1. Closer to Jesus, I long to be;
Wanting to know Him, His face to
see.
Hoping to hear Him as He calls to
me,
Closer, much closer, I long to be.
2. Closer to You, Lord, closer each
day;
I want to walk in Your will and
Your way.
Longing to know You, to feel Your
embrace,
Closer to You, Lord, closer to You.
3. Closer to You, Lord, closer each
day;
I need Your power and I need Your
grace.
When Satan tempts me to turn from
the way,
Draw me much closer, closer each
day.
