Closer to Jesus

The crowd is pressing, thronging Him
He seems so far away
I wonder if I’ll ever have the strength to make my way
In desperation, I push through, I must, I must succeed
In touching One who has the pow’r to meet my every need

Chorus:
Closer to Jesus, that’s where I long to be
I long to have the hem of His garment just within my reach
If I draw near to Him, He will draw near to me
I want to be…closer to Jesus

I’ve touched Him, now I know His pow’r
Is more than I could see
So suddenly, the sin and guilt is gone, and I am free
He turns to me, and oh, the great compassion in His voice
Thy faith hath made thee whole, He says
And now I can rejoice! (Let me be)

Chorus

If I draw near to Him, He will draw near to me
I want to be…closer to Jesus
I want to be…closer to Jesus
Jesus
