Lyrics

Verse 1

I am weak but you are strong You have held me all along When my heart has lost its song You remain

Verse 2

Through the night and through the day When my feet begin to sway Be the truth, the life, the way Jesus reigns

Bridge

Just a closer walk with you That is all I want to do Draw me nearer, Lord, it's true Closer still Let me walk beneath your grace Lead me on from place to place When the burdens press my soul When the world demands control Be the shepherd of my whole restless heart

Verse 3

When my strength is almost gone Still your mercy carries on You have been my faithful song From the start

Verse 4

Day by day and step by step You have never failed me yet All my life is in your hands

Outro

Till the race on earth is done Till I see the risen one Keep me walking as you planned Closer, Jesus, closer still Closer, Jesus, by your will

Behind the song

The heart of "Just A Closer Walk" comes from a deep yearning for God's nearness. It speaks to those moments when we feel weak or lost, and our only desire is to be closer to the One who strengthens us. The imagery of being led "from place to place" and asking God to be the "shepherd of my whole restless heart" brings to mind scriptures like Psalm 23, where the Lord is our Shepherd, guiding and comforting us through every season. It's a song about surrender and trust, recognizing that God's mercy carries us on, even when our own strength fails. It’s a prayer for His constant presence until we see Him face to face. The bridge, "Just a closer walk with you, That is all I want to do," captures the essence of a lifelong journey of faith. It echoes the sentiment of drawing near to God, knowing that He will draw near to us (James 4:8). The song reminds us that He has been our "faithful song from the start" and will remain so until the end.
