Gonna walk a little closer with my Lord

When he talks to me, I'm gonna be obedient to his word

Gonna live as he commands; gonna pray with holy hands

Today, I'm gonna walk just a little bit closer with my Lord



My brother Paul, he gave his all: a living sacrifice

He just kept on walking; every day he paid the price

He never claimed he'd made the grade, but this one thing he'd do

He pressed on to be like Jesus 'til this time on this earth is through



And me, I'm gonna walk with my Lord

When he talks to me, I'm gonna be obedient to his word

Gonna live as he commands; gonna pray with holy hands

Today, I'm gonna walk just a little bit closer with my Lord



I don't make no promises about great and mighty changes

Through this day, I'm gonna play what the Holy Ghost arranges

I don't make no promises about great and mighty changes

Through this day, I'm gonna play what the Holy Ghost arranges



Gonna walk a little closer with my Lord

When he talks to me, I'm gonna be obedient to his word

Gonna live as he commands; gonna pray with holy hands

Today, I'm gonna walk just a little bit closer

Gonna listen just a little bit closer

Gonna follow just a little bit closer with my Lord
