Lyrics
I wanna be Close to You
I wanna be Close to You
To feel the warmth of your Embrace
I wanna be Close to You
I wanna be Close to You
To feel the warmth of your Embrace
There is no Place Lord
Where I feel so safe, Lord
There is no one, Lord Jesus
That could Love like you do
There is no Place Lord
Where I feel so safe, Lord
There is no one, Lord Jesus
That could Love like you do
I wanna be close to You
I wanna be close to You
To feel the warmth of your Embrace
I wanna be close to You
I wanna be close to You
To feel the warmth of your Embrace
I wanna be close to You
I wanna be close to You
To feel the warmth of your Embrace
I wanna be close to You
I wanna be close to You
To feel the warmth of your Embrace
There is no Place Lord
Where I feel so safe; Lord
There is no one, Lord Jesus
Could Love like you do
There is no Place Lord
Where I feel so safe; Lord
There is no one, Lord Jesus
Could Love like you do
That’s I wanna be Close to You
I wanna be Close to You
I wanna be, I wanna be close to You
To feel the warmth of your sweet Embrace

Meaning & Inspiration
Close To You centers on a simple desire for nearness to Jesus. Its repeated appeal to feel the warmth of his embrace gives the song the character of a quiet prayer rather than a detailed narrative. Safety, love, and belonging form its main ideas: the singer identifies the presence of the Lord as the place where fear gives way to security and where divine love has no equal. The repetition keeps attention fixed on that single longing for communion with Christ.
The language closely reflects biblical invitations to draw near to God and descriptions of shelter in his presence. The image of an embrace is poetic rather than a direct quotation, yet it conveys comfort, welcome, and dependence. By naming Jesus as the source of unmatched love and safety, the song presents worship as personal trust. Its few phrases carry a focused confession: closeness to the Lord is treasured above every other refuge.
