Close to Thee / Thou my everlasting portion [#CloseToThee #ThouMyEverlastingPortion]
Close to Thee / Thou my everlasting portion [#CloseToThee #ThouMyEverlastingPortion]
Song based on the Bible verse:
Jeremiah 30:21
Their nobles shall be from among them,
And their governor shall come from their midst;
Then I will cause him to draw near,
And he shall approach Me;
For who is this who pledged his heart to approach Me?’ says the Lord.

1
Thou my everlasting portion more than friend or life to me
All along my pilgrim journey Savior let me walk with Thee
Close to Thee close to Thee close to Thee close to Thee
All along my pilgrim journey Savior let me walk with Thee
2
Not for ease or worldly pleasure nor for fame my prayer shall be
Gladly will I toil and suffer only let me walk with Thee
Close to Thee close to Thee close to Thee close to Thee
Gladly will I toil and suffer only let me walk with Thee
3
Lead me through the vale of shadows bear me over life’s fitful sea
Then the gate of life eternal may I enter Lord with Thee
Close to Thee close to Thee close to Thee close to Thee
Then the gate of life eternal may I enter Lord with Thee
