Chords for Rev Julius Cheeks singing with Clouds of Joy 'Just A Closer Walk With Thee"

_ [A#] _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ [A#m] _
[C#] _ _ _ I'm Reverend Julius [G#] Sheeks.
I'm in the studio with the Mighty Clouds of Joy, top group of the nation, and I'd like to tell you a story.
_ _ [F#] You know, _ [C#] _ _ I remember one day our house burned down and we didn't have
_ _ anywhere to stay.
_ _ _ [F#] _ [C#] When [F#] our neighbors got through
_ [D#m] gathering the children here and there, _
_ [C#] _ _ everything seemed to have [G#] been put in place.
_ _ [C#] I saw that gray-headed mother of mine walk off
_ and just take her foot and just
march in time. _
_ [G#] We asked her,
Mama, what we gonna do now?
_ _ And she said, son, _
_ _ _ _ [C#] ever since I've known you, I've always told you _ _
that the Lord
would make a way [A#m] somehow.
_ [F#] And I said, Mama, what you gonna do now?
_ She walked in and [C#] said these words,
_ _ _ _ _ Just
a closer _ _ _ _
[G#] walk with _ _ me. _ _ _ _ _ He said, _
[F#] Morning
_ _ to _ _ me, Jesus,
_ _ _ _ that's my [C#] _ belief. _ _ _
Oh Lord.
_ _ _ _ She said daily, _ _ _ _ _
daily walking,
_ _ Lord, _
[F#] _ told me, Lord,
_ closer [D#] _ to me.
She said, [F#]
[C#] let it be,
please be,
let it [Fm] be, please be.
[G#] I stood [F#] up
until I heard her when she said these words
with my eyes [C#] open and dance.
[F#] I [G#] heard her say,
She [C#] said, we _ _ yes, _ _ _
_ _ _ Lord, _ _
[G#] I _ heard _ her say this,
I don't know what y'all gonna do,
but I'll do it.
All [F#] the time,
all _ the time,
time for me, Lord.
_ _ _ _ [C#] _
_ _ Oh yeah,
oh yeah,
oh yeah,
_ when _ _ I rise, _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ I'm coming.
_ [F#] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D#] _ _ _ _ She said, [F#] let it [C#] be,
please be,
_ dear [G#] Master,
_ _ Lord,
_ [C#] _ [F#] let it be,
let it be,
Lord,
I am _ _ [C#] _
_ _ [F#] _ [G#] here,
_ _ [C#] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Lord,
_ I _ [Fm]
was strong,
_ [G#] _ _ Lord,
you _ [Fm] know what I like about [G#] God,
Lord,
_ _ [F#] _
always _ _ keep your rights,
_ _ _ Lord,
when you're [C#] gone,
_ _ _ _ Lord,
you don't wanna change _ this,
Lord,
let the river _ _ _ _ _ _ flow,
_ _ flow,
[F#] flow,
see _ _ _ me _
[D#] cross,
cross,
_ _ _ [F#] let [C#] it be,
_ _ _ if you will, [G#]
Jesus,
if you will,
if you _ [F#] will,
_ _ _ _ _ let [C#] it _ be, _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
