JOAN BAEZ Just A Closer Walk With Thee

 

[mnorian]

Lyrics
I am weak, but Thou art strong,
Jesus, keep me from all wrong,
I'll be satisfied as long
As I walk, let me walk close to Thee.
Just a closer walk with Thee,
Grant it, Jesus, is my plea,
Daily walking close to Thee,
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be.
Through this world of toil and snares,
If I falter, Lord, who cares?
Who with me my burden shares?
None but Thee, dear Lord, none but Thee.
Just a closer walk with Thee,
Grant it, Jesus, is my plea,
Daily walking close to Thee,
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be.
When my feeble life is o'er,
Time for me will be no more,
Guide me gently, safely o'er
To Thy kingdom shore, to Thy shore.
Just a closer walk with Thee,
Grant it, Jesus, is my plea,
Daily walking close to Thee,
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be

The first time that I heard that song, Tennessee Ernie Ford sang it.

My father had a deep bass range like Ernie, and sang in the church choir. And many times at home as he went about his handyman projects at home.

I'll go ya one further; I can remember hearing and 'seeing' Ernie sing that back in the 50's;on our old B&W TV; on his original "Tennessee Ernie Ford" show. My whole family would set around and watch him and sing along.

I would have enjoyed our family doing that.. my dad and I were the only singers of the family.. so... he sang at home accapela, while I sang with Ernie by records at home in the room by myself or at the church while my parents did their volunteer janitorial work. And when I got older I joined the church choir.

Well, I'm glad that I could help out, without even knowing that I was.
