This entire song was done on the cheap except for Roxylee's vocal harmonies. The guitar is an inexpensive $79 Rogue acoustic. My vox and guitar were originally recorded years ago on an iPod Touch. A few years later I decided to experiment with the iPad GarageBand software instruments. So the bass and organ are played and recorded from that app. Simple and not to shabby for a $5 app. I sent what I came up with to Roxylee. She, agreeing to add harmonies, did a number of takes. I found it really hard to decide which was best. And, it was mainly due to her desire to "get it right" that we finally came up with what we think is the best version. Thanks for listening.

Lyrics
I am weak but Thou art strong
Jesus keep me from all wrong
I'll be satisfied as long
As I walk, let me walk close to Thee

CHORUS:
Just a closer walk with Thee
Grant it, Jesus, is my plea
Daily walking close to Thee
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be

When my feeble life is o'er
Time for me shall be no more
Guide me gently, safely o'er
To Thy kingdom's shore, to Thy shore

When life's sun sinks in the west
Lord, may I have done my best
May I find sweet peace and rest
In that happy home of the blessed

-unknown composer
