(Verse 1)
Yes I'm just watchin' my step
Tryin' not to upset you
And I'm just bein' careful
With everything that I say & do
I dont wana do anything
If it's not approved (Ooooo)
Cause you're my goal & my mission
My every intention is you
(Pre Chorus)
So what I'm gona do
Is do what
I gotta do to please you
If it means givin' up myself
I gotta do it
Just to get next to you
Then I gotta do (Do ooooo)
(Chorus)
Oh Lord I,
Need to be
Want to be
Got to be
Closer to you
Cause this what I need to do
I dont how, can I ever
Say that I pleased you
And Lord it's not about me no more
I need to be
Want to be
Got to be
Closer to you
It's what you called me to do
It's what you expect me to
So Ima do exactly what you would do
If you were in my shoes
I'm gona be closer to you
(Ummmmm) Closer to you
(Ooooo, Ummmm) Closer to you (Closer)
(Verse 2)
As I inch my way
Closer to your will
I cant wait (No, no)
It seems the closer I get
Father, you seem so far away (So far away)
But I will keep
Pressin' cause I have to
Crawlin' cause I want you
Reachin' cause I need you (Reachin' cause I need you)
Ooo, I'm never gona stop (Cause I love you)
Oh Lord, And Ima have to
I couldn't find nobody to replace you
(Pre Chorus)
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
Lord I cant go anywhere
If you're not there
Ooo, Lord I cant speak a word
If I dont hear you clear
I'm just sayin'
Lord I wana be close to thee
Every hour, every day I need thee
So draw me near
Near to you
I got to be closer thee...
Closer than most, cause I need you
Closer than close, Cause I need to
Feel you breathe on me, Lord
Breathe
