Just a closer walk with thee

Grant it jesus if you please

I'll be satisfied as long, as i walk, dear lord, close to thee



I am weak but thou art strong

Jesus keep me from all wrong

I'll be satisfied as long, as i walk, dear lord, close to thee



See me through days of wine and roses

By and by when the morning comes

Jazz and blues and folk, poetry and jazz

Voice and music, music and no music

Silence and then voice

Music and writing, words

Memories, memories way back

Take me way back, hyndford street and hank williams

Louis armstrong, sidney bechet on sunday afternoons in winter







Sidney bechet, sunday afternoons in winter

And the tuning in of stations in europe on the wireless

Before, yes before it was the way it was

More silence, more breathing together

Not rushing, being

Before rock `n' roll, before television

Previous, previous, previous

See me through, just a closer walk with thee



Just a closer walk with thee

Grant it jesus if you please

I'll be satisfied as long, as i walk, dear lord, close to thee



I am weak but thou art strong

Jesus keep me from all wrong

I'll be satisfied as long, as i walk, dear lord, close to thee.
