Close To Thee Lyrics

 Hey Friends,

Thanks for stopping by today. We are visiting our Next Step project. This is the latest music project by us, Kelly Jo and Odie.

It is available for download on all digital platforms. Contact us to order physical products. We have both cds and USB drives available. 

In our lyrics series, we have reached Close To Thee. This song was penned many years ago by our friend Bro. Jim E. Davis. 

Bro. Jim graciously allowed us to record this song! We have had a great response to the song. I think the message resonates with many people. 

We have loved this song for a long time. The message has encouraged our family for many years. We have fallen back on this song during this uncharted season we are walking in now. 

We do not know the weather forecast of life, nor where the road will lead. Our answer is to stay close to God! He is our only hope!!

Below are this song's lyrics. 



Close To Thee

Verse 1
Stormy weather has always 
Been a part of my life 
Sometimes it seems more 
Than I can bear 
But it doesn’t matter what the weather 
There’s one thing I know 
My sweet Jesus will always be there

Chorus 
Just to be close to thee
In the midst of the storm 
Just to stand by your side 
In the sunshine 
It doesn’t matter what the weather 
Wherever I may be
All I ask Lord is to be close to thee 

Verse 2
When the sun shines 
It’s so easy to forget about the rain 
Sometimes it seems I drift away 
Then you remind me of the last time 
You brought me through the storm
I’m so thankful 
You’re with me each day

Chorus 
Just to be close to thee
In the midst of the storm 
Just to stand by your side 
In the sunshine 
It doesn’t matter what the weather 
Wherever I may be
All I ask Lord is to be close to thee 

Tag
No it doesn’t matter 
What the weather 
Wherever I may be
All I ask Lord is to be close to thee
