The closer I’m to the Lord,
the more I feel His peace
as the burdens on my soul
onto Him I release.
The closer I’m to my Shepherd,
the more I know His will
as to green valleys He leads me
to learn to wait and be still.
The closer I’m to Jesus,
the more of His grace I find
as the worries on my heart
no longer play on my mind.
The closer I’m to my Savior,
the more I know I’m blessed
for the nearer I’m to Him
the more I have perfect rest.
The closer I’m to the Lord,
the closer He is to me . . .
there is no other place
that I would rather be!
