Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Lord, I love You
How I love You
More and more each day
I just want to be close, close to You
[Verse 2]
Under the shadow of Your wing
Please hide me, Lord
So that I might be close, close to You
[Verse 3]
'Cause in Your presence
There's fullness of joy
At Your, Your right hand are pleasures forevermore
No evil can stand where You are
So I just need to be close, close to You
[Verse 4]
Ooh, come on, say, "Lord, I love You"
Lord, I love You
How I love You
How I love You
More and more
More and more each day
I just want
I just want
Lord, all I want is to be close
To be close
Close to You
Close to You
Under the shadow
Under the shadow
Of Your wings
Of Your wings
Please hide
Please hide me, Lord
So that I
So that I
Might be close
Might be close
Close to You
Close to You
[Verse 5]
'Cause in Your presence
Your presence
Is fullness
Is fullness
Of joy
Of joy
Lord
Of joy
And at Your right hand
At Your right hand
Pleasures
Are pleasures
Forever, forever
[Verse 6]
More, in Your presence
In Your presence
Is fullness
Is fullness
Of joy
Of joy
Joy
Of joy
At Your right hand
At Your right hand
Are pleasures
Are pleasures
Forever, forever
[Verse 7]
Now, come on everybody, lift your hands and give God the glory
[Verse 8]
Anybody who wants to be close to Him, come on lift your hands
And give Him praise
[Verse 9]
Your presence
Is fullness
Is fullness
Of joy, of joy
Of joy, of joy
Your right hand
At Your right hand
Are pleasures
Are pleasures
Forever, forever
More
[Verse 10]
Come on, say, "No evil"
No evil
Can stand, can stand
Where You are
So I just need, so I just need
To be close, I just need
I just need (Oh)
To be close, I just need
I just need to be close
To be close, close to You
Close to You
[Verse 11]
Ooh, to
