Avett Brothers, The - Closer Walk With Thee Lyrics
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
Jesus, keep me from all wrong
I'll be satisfied as long
As I walk, let me walk close to Thee
Through this world of toil and snares
If I falter, Lord, who cares?
Who with me my burden shares?
None but Thee, dear Lord, none but Thee
When my feeble life is o'er
Guide me gently, safely o'er
To thy Kingdom's shore, to thy shore

Avett Brothers, The Closer Walk With Thee Comments
The audience is always full of narcissistic people. Trust the artists don't like it unless they ask for participation
God bless y'all! In God we trust with liberty and justice for ALL! I pity those that do not have faith or belief in Our Lord Jesus Christ!
God bless all of you
there is a time to sing and a time to listen
The Avetts. My favorites
Everyone's talking all about the cheering. It has nothing to do with drunkenness or spirituality. People cheer in concerts. It's what they do. Why's it a big deal?
#JesusLovesDrunksToo
I miss my mom mom and pa pa
Wonderful!! 💜
What a ripper. Haven't heard this in a while.
wow. my nana kennedy used to sing this...goosebumps. thank you Truly appreciated
Awesome!.Zephaniah 3:14-15
Sing aloud, O daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel! Rejoice and exult with all your heart, O daughter of Jerusalem! The Lord has taken away the judgments against you; he has cleared away your enemies. The King of Israel, the Lord, is in your midst; you shall never again fear evil.
"You shall never again fear evil." What a beautiful promise, what a wonderful God.
I don’t understand the criticism of the audience...just sounds like church to me.
And even if some are intoxicated as some say, so what? Then all the better to know a song about Jesus excites them instead of most of the stuff they could be doing.
The Avett Bros. are ministering Love.
The crowd interaction is one of the great thing about live music. I didn't feel that anyone did anything to take away from the moment. I love The Avett Brothers doing these old gospel songs! Sing on Brothers!
divine.simple & raw.
How can you tell they are drunks in the crowd? Inquiring minds want to know :)
Drunk with the Holy Spirit!!!
the crowd was "moved", and that's what helps make this the best video on YouTube!
the greatest hymn sung by two brothers. enough said.
17 heathens
enjoyed it, played it a couple times. Good Job, one of my favorites...Merry Christmas...
WTF is wrong with the people hooting and hollering? Aren't they there to LISTEN to people play music? Not to scream at them?
Sorry dude but i'm hootn and hollerin at my computor, them words are just overwhelming brother
Perspective is a personal experience
You've obviously never been to an Avett concert!
Yeah, people expressing strong emotion in response to beautiful music. It's been happening for a while.
If I were as talented as these guys and I was playing this lovely hymm, I would have been inspired and HONORED to have the crowd holler as much as they were ... Great rendition.
I was tickled to hear of these fellas and more excited to hear them singing some of the best gospel songs ever recorded !
Wow! Just found these guys tonight. I could not stop looking for songs! What a great sound. Hope they come down to Austin, Texas.
Welcome. The best Avett Brothers you'll hear is right here. Their studio stuff is good. These songs are gold.
Austin City Limits----they've done it!
I just got saved again!
Loved it! Incredible power in those words and vocals! My 2 cents about the crowd: I'm paying really good money to hear the performer, not someone who has the urge to shout out in the beginning and middle of the song. Respect your performers and fellow fans by going CRAZY after they strum that last chord.
LOL what an asinine statement. Those people are feeling the music that's being played through them.
Sorry you don't get that love at your shows LOL
I don't see why people are upset with the crowd. When you are filled with the spirit (whatever spirit it may be) it has no where to go but out. Its actually a compliment, if the crowd was silent I would think they didnt like it...Heck I hoot when people say "I do" at a wedding because of the joy I feel for them getting hitched.
why dont they shut up & let them sing!
hounddig r u mad sucka
Not sure why folks are bothered by the 'hootin'. It's obvious the crowd enjoyed the song. That's what people do at live concerts. I'm definitely liking this version.
phantastic voices <3
Hey Mike last that's where I heard it also.And it touched my heart also.
This is an awesome performance of my favorite gospel song. I wish they would have performed this at the concert in Louisville this past year. Awesome performance
yeah this is nice! thanks for posting and sharing this!
allleluia bros!! they are from Mount Pleasant NC. Close to my place.
currently tied with "once and future carpenter" to be played at my funeral. How is one suppossed to decide?
If I pay money to see a show, I'm gonna hoot and holler if I want to. If they don't want the noise then don't preform live.
You guys are beautiful.
I enjoyed your rendition of this song ~
Some of the commenters, c'mon now....don't worry about the drunks the Holy Spirit is breaking through and they can feel it too!
Yes! Also, people can be intoxicated and Christian at the same time.
Those in glass houses...
Love it ....Check out Milo's version http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/marlonmilodavis
Even with the obnoxious crowd, I got serious goosebumps. I love those boys.
LOVED THE SONG SINGERS, hated the rude crowd
Drunks in crowd really ruin this awesome version of this great gospel song.
this was so good, i've watched them sing this about twelve different times in other videos. this one is the best, if not the best camera work.
Fantastic!
even though I left Christianity long ago this takes me back to my grandparents sweet belief and a time before reality hit, thanks.
Did you respect your grandparents? Do you think they had inferior abilities to you to grapple with reality? There are a lot of Christians out there that make it difficult to believe. But when you get past them and close to those whose lives who have been truly been immersed in the love of God, even through their difficult times, it will hopefully make you question yourself rather than them because they are full of the things everyone wants to be full of: kindness, peacefulness, self control, self-sacrificing love for others, lack of complaining, optimism, self-forgetfulness, etc. The reason most of us don't experience Him now, in 2017, is because we do not take the time or dedication to do so. We immerse ourselves in fun and technology in all our free time. And then we complain that our ancestors have lied to us, and that there is no One there. But why should we give up on what our ancestors claimed to have experienced?
These songs exist precisely because of reality. The possibility of a grace, a love, a dignity, that endures throughout this life on earth on beyond. An eternal love, that feels very real. And who's to say it isn't?
Reality has yet to hit you friend...
I don't see why people can't just keep quiet, why do they feel the need to interrupt a beautiful song like this with their shrill screams and whistles?
The Avett Brothers are amazing, hope I can see them again soon !! I haven't heard a bad song by them yet.
My Grandma would have liked this. Love Grandma hope you can hear this in Heaven:)
Debbie Ghostley, If she dead she sure won't be able to, when you dead you got no senses, you got no thing. They just tell ya that fairy tale stuff to help ya go ta sleep at night, santa for growd ups.
Thanks for screaming through the song. Ignorant crowd.
Your name is an oxymoron with your statement
You can be a Christian too, LOVE this song.
i would love to see a gospel album of old church songs and new ones that are just their own. how fantastic would that be.Great talent
So wish this was available on iTunes!!!
Crowd knows how to ruin a good song. Love this song, these guys do it beautifully.
Moronic wooers? That is what you do at a concert. Get into the music and show appreciation for the performance. This performance deserved many a woo :)
New fan, by far the best song I've come across.
Beautiful.
BTW: some wise person should come up with Rules of Acceptable Behavior at an Avett Brothers concert.
After the first 15 seconds, the "WOOs!" should really stop!
Wish I could walk closer to thee avett bros
I ain' buildin no bookcase.
VA Tech?! Go Hokies!
oh yeah, and touching, moving, beautiful, great down-home music. Grateful for my homeland. Thank you Avetts!
What would it cost to get someone to edit this audio file and take out all the moronic woo-ers? That would be incredible.
they've since completely switched hairstyles
praise jebus!!
They made one a loooong time ago. Before all the songs they have now they recorded a gospel cd with their dad.
tdaugh... Down in the Valley
Amen Class
I love Seth's voice in this!
I've always loved the Avett Brothers... I am wondering are there any other Church songs that they've done? This is just awesome.
Love this song but not their version of the song.
I've been to lots of their shows, and this is my favorite Avett experience thus far. :)
Yes this is beyond beautiful. I cant get it out of my head.
Hey, I just posted a version of this song.
how could 4 people dislike this. This is one of the most beautiful sounds that I have ever heard. Gives me the shivers every time!
Search for Jim Avett and family
So cool
three people are deaf
these guys are blessed. and they've used their blessing to acknowledge the Lord Most High the One Who gave it to them!
Audiences across the world, shut up
Beyond awesome. Yes, yes, Avett gospel record, please!
I grew up on these songs. So cool to hear these guys have the same roots. There's power in these old songs.
Hope someday they record, "How Great Thou Art".
Jesus is lord
"Jim Avett & Family". It's their gospel CD.
did anybody hear the guy near/holding the camera burp during this? about 0:51. Great video, would be good live I bet!
I'm not Christian, but I want to see an Avett Gospel CD. This is beyond beautiful.
Man, my favorite song from cool hand luke!
love it!
sad to say it, but most people don't know this one.
They sound incredible! Missing Bob though.
o my god this is part of marching show this year!!!!!!
DANG! That was great, raw and pure!
Awesome!
i wish people were this well behaved on the acoustic songs when i see them!
Incredible
Beautiful
Great video!
