Closer to Jesus
Words and Music by Abigail Miller © 2003

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.
