Oh how well I do remember back to old camp meetin' times
|
I lingered in the shadows to hide this face of mine
|
I could barely hear the preacher barely hear the olders pray
|
Then one night I heard the still small voice say
|
Move up a little closer don't hide in shadows
|
Come now and be counted with the children of the Lord
|
Move up a little closer climb high up the mountain
|
Move up a little closer to the kingdom of the Lord
|
[ piano ]
|
I pretended not to listen tried to close my burning ears
|
Although I'd been a sinner who wasted many years
|
So I turned to leave the meetin' but somehow I couldn't start
|
Once more I heard the voice in my heart
|
Move up a little closer...
|
[ dobro ]
|
I'm so thnakful for the message that was sent to me that night
|
I dawned by Christian armor and I bowed to spread the lights
|
Now when I see you sinner standing in the shadows dim
|
I bow my head and say this praer for him
|
Move up a little closer...
