The crowd is pressing thronging Him
He seems so far away
I wonder if I'll ever have the strength to make my way
In desperation I push through
I must, I must succeed
In touching one who has the power to meet my every need
Closer to Jesus
That's where I long to be
I long to touch have the hem of His garment
Just within my reach
If I draw near to Him, He will draw near to me
I want to be
Closer to Jesus
I touched Him now I know His power is more than I could see
So suddenly the sin and guilt is gone and I am free
He turns to me and all the great compassion in His voice
Thy faith has made thee whole He says, and now I can rejoice
Let me be closer to Jesus
That's where I long to be
I long to touch have the hem of His garment
Just within my reach
If I draw near to Him, He will draw near to me
I want to be
Closer to Jesus
If I draw near to Him, He will draw near to me
I want to be
Closer to Jesus
I want to be
Closer to Jesus
Jesus...
