See Me Through, Pt. II / Just a Closer Walk with Thee

Just a closer walk with Thee

Grant it Jesus if you please

I'll be satisfied as long

As I walk, dear Lord, close to Thee

I am weak but Thou art strong

Jesus keep me from all wrong

I'll be satisfied as long

As I walk, dear lord, close to Thee

See me through days of wine and roses

By and by when the morning comes

Just a closer walk with Thee

Jazz and blues and folk, poetry and jazz

Voice and music, music and no music

Grant it Jesus if you please

Silence and then voice

Music and writing, words

I'll be satisfied as long

Memories, memories way back

Take me way back, Hyndford Street and Hank Williams

As I walk, dear Lord, close to Thee

Louis Armstrong, Sidney Bechet on Sunday afternoons in winter

Sidney Bechet, Sunday afternoons in winter

I am weak but Thou art strong

And the tuning in of stations in Europe on the wireless

Before, yes before this was the way it was

Jesus keep me from all wrong

More silence, more breathing together

Not rushing, being

I'll be satisfied as long

Before rock `n' roll, before television

Previous, previous, previous

As I walk, dear lord, close to Thee

See me through, just a closer walk with Thee[Chorus]

Just a closer walk with Thee

Grant it Jesus if you please

I'll be satisfied as long

As I walk, dear Lord, close to Thee

I am weak but Thou art strong

Jesus keep me from all wrong

I'll be satisfied as long

As I walk, dear Lord, close to Thee
