Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I wake up mean
then I pray for grace
mud on my boots
and shame on my face
I try to stand
but I slip again
same old road
same old sin
[Pre-Chorus]
I hear that cross
call my name
but my old ghost
knows my chain
[Chorus]
Close to Jesus
close to Jesus
take my hand
and pull me through
Close to Jesus
close to Jesus
I want good
but I choose wrong too
[Verse 2]
Friday night pulls
like a rusted wire
sweet talk lies
with a mouth of fire
I turn my back
then I turn around
Heaven in sight
hell on the ground
[Pre-Chorus]
I hear that cross
call my name
but my old ghost
knows my chain
[Chorus]
Close to Jesus
close to Jesus
take my hand
and pull me through
Close to Jesus
close to Jesus
I want good
but I choose wrong too
[Bridge]
If You can take
this stubborn heart
break these chains
and tear them apart
'Cause I’m tired
of running low
I need that mercy
down in my soul
[Final Chorus]
Close to Jesus
close to Jesus
take my hand
and pull me through
Close to Jesus
close to Jesus
I want good
but I choose wrong too
Close to Jesus
close to Jesus
when the world comes loud
I’m coming to You
