                                                    G
(I'm sure everyone here today recognizes that great melody)

             G7                                     C
(A Red Foley classic, Just a Closer Walk with Thee)

                               D#
(And no hymn album would be complete)

              G
(Without this great song)

                 D7
(Would everybody join in and help us)

     G     C  G  D7
(And sing)

G                       D7
I am weak, but Thou art strong;

D7                      G
Jesus, keep me from all wrong;

G       G7           C     D#
I’ll be satisfied as long

     G            D7            G     C  G  D7
As I walk, let me walk close to Thee.

G                       D7
Just a closer walk with Thee  (just a closer walk}

D7                     G
Grant it, Jesus, is my plea  (just a closer walk, just a closer walk)

G     G7               C     D#
Daily walking close to Thee,

       G        D7           G   C  G  D7
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be.

G                      D7
When my feeble life is o’er,

D7                     G
Time for me will be no more;

G        G7             C     D#
Guide me gently, safely o’er

       G       D7            G      C  G  D7
To Thy kingdom shore, to Thy shore.

G                       D7
Just a closer walk with Thee (just a closer walk, just a closer walk)

D7                     G
Grant it, Jesus, is my plea  (just a closer walk, just a closer walk)

G     G7               C     D#
Daily walking close to Thee,

       G        D7           G   C  G  D7
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be.
