[Verse 1]

How lovely is Your dwelling place, my Lord, my Lord

And happy are those who reside in Your courts, Your courts

All the miles that I have traveled

I've seen kings in ancient castles

But they could never hold a candle to this burning in my soul

[Chorus]

To be close, close

To You, Lord, oh

To be close

[Verse 2]

The mercy of Your presence is my joy, my joy

I rest within the sweetness of Your voice, Your voice

Every man-made mystery, every timeless luxury

Might be worth thеir weight in gold

Still, the one thing I want most is to bе

[Chorus]

Close, close

To You, Lord, oh

To be close (To be close, to be close, to be close)

Close (To You, Lord, to You, Lord, to You, Lord)

To You, Lord (To be close, to be close, to be close)

Oh (To You, Lord, to You, Lord, to You, Lord)

To be close

Ooh, to be close, yes, to You, Lord, ooh

[Bridge]

Every morning (Every morning)

Every evening (Every evening)

Every moment (Every moment)

Give me Jesus (Give me Jesus)

Might be coming (Might be coming)

Might be going (Might be going)

All I know is (All I know is)

I need Jesus (I need Jesus)

Wherever You are (Wherever You are)

No matter how far (No matter how far)

I'll come running (Yeah)

'Cause I need Jesus ('Cause I need Jesus)

Nothing better (Nothing better)

Than the presence (Than the presence)

Of my Jesus (Of my Jesus)

All I need is to be

[Outro]

Close, close

To be close
