Lyrics Mahalia Jackson

Mahalia Jackson

Just A Closer Walk With Thee

Just a closer walk with Thee

Grant it, Lord if you please

Daily walking close with Thee

Let it be, dear Lord; Lord, let it be

I am weak, but Thou are strong

Jesus, keep me from all wrong

I'll be satisfied as long

As I can walk, dear Lord, close with Thee

In this world of toil and snares

If I falter, Lord, who cares?

Who but Thee my burden shares?

None but Thee, oh Lord, none but Thee

When my weary life is over

Pain and suffering are no more

Who will lead me safely o'er

Canaan's shore, that sweet Canaan's shore?
