Lyrics
I'm gonna walk
A little closer with my Lord
And when he talks to me
I'm gonna be obedient to His Word
I'm gonna live as He commands
I'm gonna pray with holy hands
Today I'm gonna walk
Just a little bit closer with my Lord
Now, brother Paul
He gave his all
A living sacrifice
He just kept on pushin'
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 his time on this earth is through
And me, I'm gonna walk
A little closer with my Lord
And when he talks to me
Well, I'm gonna be obedient to His Word
I'm gonna live as He commands
I'm gonna pray with holy hands
Today I'm gonna walk
Just a little bit closer with my Lord
Now, James, he said
Get it through your head
Don't just hear but do
Lookin' in a mirror
Will never tell you what is true
Now, God's just not impressed
With how loud, long or fancy you pray
But if you'll do what His Word says to
You'll know He'll bless you in every way
And me, I'm gonna walk
A little closer with my Lord
And when he talks to me
I'm gonna be obedient to His Word
I'm gonna live as He commands
I'm 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
But through this day, I'm gonna play
What the Holy Ghost arranges
And me, I'm gonna walk
A little closer with my Lord
And when he talks to me
Well, I'm gonna be obedient to His Word
I'm gonna live as He commands
I'm gonna pray with holy hands
Today I'm gonna walk just a little bit closer
I'm gonna listen just a little bit closer
I'm gonna follow
Just a little bit closer with my Lord
