Just a Closer Walk With Thee Lyrics

Just a closer walk with thee
Grant it Jesus, is my plea
Oh, daily walking close to thee
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be

Oh, I am weak but thou strong
Jesus keep me from all wrong
I’ll be satisfied as long
Oh, as I walk, let me walk, close to thee (I’ll go on)

When my feeble life is o’er
In old time for me, will be no more
Well guide me gently, safely o’er
To thy kingdom, to thy shore, to thy shore

Oh, just (just a closer walk) a closer walk with thee
(Just a closer walk, just a closer walk)
Oh, grant it Jesus, is my plea
Oh, daily (daily walking) walking close to thee
Oh, let it be (let it be), dear Lord, let it be

Just (just a closer walk) a closer walk with thee
(Just a closer walk)
Grant it Jesus, is my plea
Oh, daily walking close to thee (daily walking close to thee)
Let it be (let it be), dear Lord, let it be
Oh, let it be (let it be), dear Lord, let it be

What a Friend We Have in Jesus

Alabama

What a friend we have in Jesus
All our sins and griefs to bear
And what a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer

Oh, what peace we often forfeit
And oh, what needless pain we bear
All because we do not carry
To everything to God in prayer

Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged
Take it to the Lord in prayer

Can we find a friend so faithful?
Or who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness
Take it to the Lord in prayer
Ooh
Take it to the Lord in prayer

Are we weak and heavy laden?
Encumbered with a load I’ve carried
Precious Savior still I refuge, hmm
Take it to the Lord in prayer

Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer
‘Cause in His arms
He’ll take and shield you
Thou will find no solace there

Oh, take it to the Lord in prayer
Take it to the Lord in prayer

Mountain Music Lyrics

Song by Alabama

Oh, play me some mountain music
Like grandma and grandpa used to play
Then I’ll float on down the river
To a Cajun hideaway

Drift away like Tom Sawyer
Ride a raft with ol’ Huck Finn
Take a nap like Rip Van Winkle
Daze dreamin’ again

Oh, play me some mountain music
Like grandma and grandpa used to play
Then I’ll float on down the river
To a Cajun hideaway

Swim across the river
Just to prove that I’m a man
Spend the day bein’ lazy
Just bein’ nature’s friend

Climb a long tall hick’ry
Bend it over, skinnin’ cats
Playin’ baseball with chert rocks
Usin’ sawmill slabs for bats

Play some back-home, come-on music
That comes from the heart
Play somethin’ with lots of feelin’
‘Cause that’s where music has to start

Oh, play me some mountain music
Like grandma and grandpa used to play
Then I’ll float on down the river
To a Cajun hideaway, hey, hey!

Oh, play me mountain music
Oh, play me mountain music
Oh, play me mountain music
Oh, play (yee-haw!)
