How Close You Came To Being Gone

When I think how close you came to being gone

A friend of mine is going through the same thing I did

with you

She's lost her man and must go on alone

And she don't know if he'll come back again

And I tremble cause I know how she feels

When I think how close you came to being gone

And I tell her that I turned my face to Jesus

And said let Thy will be done

But if you know anyway you're keepin' him Lord please

show me one

It scares me half to death to think of living life alone

When I think how close you came to being gone

The reasons were just about the same day after day she

not can complain

And she knows she chosed him the way from home

And now she begs him just like I begged you

And she cries and asks me what can she do

And I think how close you came to being gone

And I tell it that I turned my face to Jesus...

When I think how close you came to being gone
