Verse I: 

Oh Lord I felt your presence when I open my eyes this morning 

I remember how we started the day together, 

Somehow it drifted on 

I need to feel your presence all through the day, 

Sometimes I get weak and I want to stray 



Chorus: 

So I start all over again 

Please Lord give me another chance 

Today I want to be closer to you than I've ever been before (3x second time) 



Verse II: 

Oh Lord, it's my desire just to please You in all, in all that I do 

Lord I want to walk like You, yes, I want to talk just like You 

I want to live holy just like You tell me to 

Oh there are times I must admit I fall a little short of your word 

That's the times I call running and crying Lord help me just to make it, 

Just to make it through 



Chorus: 



Vamp: 

I want to be closer to you 

Today I want to be closer to You than I've ever been before 

Than I've ever been before 

Than I've ever been before
