Closer To Jesus Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Wel[C]l, [D]wo man[C] wi[D]th
a burden of sickness
Twelve years heard that [G]Jesus
was [A]coming her [D]way
She didn't stop to [A]worry
about her [D]doubts and her fears
She had to [Em]fight for every [E]step of the way
[A]Through the cro[G]wds that
were pressing around [D]him
And through the [G]heat and
the dust of the road
[E]Until she tou[D]ched his coat
[F#]and God [Bm]healed her body
[G]It lifted[D] her hea[A]vy loa[D]d
If I could get a little closer to Jesus
Just a little [A]bit closer to Jesus
Just a little bit [D]closer to Jesus
[G]Everything's gonna [A]be al[D]right
[C]A m[D]an [C]asked[D] Jesus' disciples
If they could deliv[G]er his [A]only son
[D]From the spirit that threw him
In the water and the fire
But with [Em]them it just could not be done
[A]So he called out[G] to Jesus
say[D]ing, Lord, I believe,
but [G]help all my unbelief.
[E]Jesus[D] had mer[F#] cy and hea[Bm]led his son[G]
and [D]took away [A]all of [D]his grief.
If I can get a [Bm]little [D]closer to Jesus,
just a little bit [A]closer to Jesus,
just a little bit [D]closer to Jesus,
[G]everything's gonna [A]be alright.
[C]And[D] no[Dbsus4]w the stor[Db]y abo[Bbm]ut[Ebm][Eb]
touching the hem of his garment
nearly [Ab]everybody [Bb]knows
[Eb]But the woman was healed
[Bb]by her faith[Eb] in God
and [Fm]not by the master's [Bb]clothes
And the [Ab]boy with the unclean spirit
[Eb]was delivered
when [Ab]everybody's faith was gone
[F]When his fat[Eb]her cried out[Gm],
[Cm]Lord, I'm weak[Ab],
but then Je[Ebm]sus ma[Bb]de me[Eb] strong
If I can get a little closer to Jesus,
just a little bit [Bb]closer to Jesus,
just [Eb]a lit[Bb]tle bit cl[Eb]oser to Jesus,
[Ab]everything's gonna [Bb]be alright.
[Eb]Now,[Ab][C][Ab][Fm][Eb][Fm][Eb]
[C]if [F]you wanna get a little closer to Jesus,
there's [Bb]no u[C]nderstanding your wa[Fm]y.
You don't have to wait
for another dis[F]ciple
to find [Gm]the right words to say
[C]Because He is [Bb]the same
today [F]and forever,
no mat[Bb]ter what the devil may do
[G]So if [F]you need faith
or some [Dm]more of God's Spir[Bb]it,
just [Fm]ask Him and He'll g[C]ive it t[F]o you
And you can get a [Bb]little [F]closer to Jesus,
just as close as you [C]want to to Jesus
Just a little bit [F]closer to Jesus,
[Bb]everything's gonna [C]be [F]alright
Oh, [Bb]we've got to [C]get a
little [F]closer to Jesus
Just as close as you [C]want to to Jesus
We've got to get a little [Fm]closer to Jesus,
[F]everything's [Bb]gonna be[C]
[Eb]alright[Bb][Ab][Eb][Bb][Ab]
[Gm]Closer, closer, closer, [Eb]closer to Je[F]sus
