Baez, Joan - Just A Closer Walk With Thee Lyrics
I am weak, but Thou art strong;
Jesus, keep me from all wrong;
I'll be satisfied as long
As I walk, let me walk close to Thee.
Grant it, Jesus, is my plea,
Daily walking close to Thee,
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be.
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.
Just a closer walk with Thee,
Daily walking close to Thee,
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be.
When my feeble life is o'er,
Time for me will be no more;
Guide me gently, safely o'er
To Thy kingdom shore, to Thy shore.
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.

Baez, Joan Just A Closer Walk With Thee Comments
Thanks for posting it but when I read that no one else does it better, I have to say that you are wrong.Baez has got her own way to sing Gospels, she doesn't imitate black african americans' way. She confirms her bright soprano, but according to me this isn't the best version of this beautiful one. Just listen to Mahalia Jackson's or Ella Fitzgerald's to take only those two which are far better, deeper. I am a big fan of Joan Baez and I have been for years now, but I have to admit that she isn't the best Gospel singer, even if I love her "Oh Freedom", or "Let us break bread together" or "Turn me around" (which isn't a gospel but sounds like...) or her powerful "Swing Low Sweet Charriot" from the 70's. But I enjoy her voice and her soul! She is a guide for many people!
the best recording of this great song ever made.
Bitch butcherd this great song. She has always been overrated.
So lovely to my ears!
O wonderful. She hit me......
Joan and Judith Durham do somewhat similar versions of this wonderful old spiritual.They're each quite brilliant and I cherish both.
Just wonderful. Joan is one of the generals in the Revolution.
Terrible version. Like her voice. But this is not done right atall.
SHAWN MICHAEL Duncan I like the version. I guess it is just a matter of taste.
go somewhere else then
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL
Tears in my eyes ....... great, just great.
I have never heard this song done any better. Joan is a great singer. Thank you for the pleasure of listening to such beautiful music.
What key is this in, please?
what is there to say she was there in Selma...mom. march right thru Viet Nam protests and sounds just as right now as then who's old me...her
Our hearts with you and your family. Our hopes for you all. My parents were very very real kinda people. Hippie- kinda people - if you want to say.
But they taught me to respect one another and giving to one another in need is the most special thing. And all I can do now is give my hopes to you and your family. Never forget the truth but , dear, please do not hold grudges. Hold on to your joy. My Ma in particular-would want you to feel that. Love is an answer. it will prevail. Our hopes and prayers from North Carolina.

Really wonderful - I love it.

I remember this recording by Joan Baez with great affection. I played it many many times in my youth and still love it. A favorite hymn of mine sung by the legendary Joan Baez.
Always loved Joan's voice. we named our first son "Jesse" after that beautiful recording of hers.
Really fantastick voice!
I love you Joannie
Fantastic :) What a voice :)
One of the my top 5 BAEZ performances ever. This recording is actually a medley of "Precious Lord, Take My Hand" by the Father of Gospel Thomas A Dorsey ( it's MLK'S favorite hymn, sung by Aretha @ his funeral) and the traditional "Just a Closer Walk.."
Wish JB would do a whole album of gospel and other spiritual songs from different faiths and locations.
Thanks, Scout4Me1
Wonderful again !!!
Cool, I scout 'for' him, he'll scout for me? You scout 'for' him, he'll scout for you? Baez, my inspiration!
