Closer Walk With Thee 03:27
lyrics
buy track
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. 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. Through the days of toil and snare If I fall, dear Lord, who cares Who with me my burdens share None but Thee, dear Lord, none but Thee When my feeble life is over And time for me will be no more Guide me safely, gently over To Thy Kingdom’s share, to Thy shore.

Chorus: Oh, I’m gonna take a trip in that good old gospel ship I am going far beyond the sky I’m gonna shout and sing until all heaven rings When I bid this old world goodbye. Now I can scarcely wait, well you know I don’t wanna be late I wanna spend all my time in prayer And when my ship comes in, I’m gonna leave this old world of sin And go sailing through the air.

(Chorus) Have you ever stood at the ocean With the white foam at your feet, Felt the endless thunderin’ motion? Then I’d say you’ve seen God’s hand at work. (Chorus) Have you ever looked at the cross With a man hangin’ in pain, And the look of love in His eyes? Then I’d say you’ve seen Jesus my Lord.

about

"The songs in this collection have been with me for about as long as I can remember. I’ve been singing their lyrics at Camp Olivet since I was a fetus in sneakers. It was at Olivet that I first began strumming the guitar to their often mislabeled chords. These songs and the meaning that they hold have evolved with me over the years. Today, some of the lyrics make me roll my eyes with their horrible theology. Some of them send a shiver up and down my spine. Some of them are simply beautiful meditations on the character of God and his kingdom. As a child, my cousins and I wrote verses for “Humble Yourself” to sing one Sunday morning. Those new verses found their way into the Camp Olivet songbook and have been synonymous with the tune ever since. At some point during my early adolescence it became expected of me to sing “Keep It On Going” every day at camp until my voice was no more. Now an adult with children of my own, I have returned to Camp Olivet to play my guitar and sing these songs. The sessions are loud, often goofy and sometimes surprisingly moving. I’ve found new life in these songs. I have accepted that like anyone who has a history with Camp Olivet, for better or worse, these songs are a part of me." -Joel Rockey, December 2014
