Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause I need you here next to me
I traveled so far and I won’t depart
‘Cause I can almost touch the other side
So I want you to stay close, real close to me
Your name is so high
Please, look down below Jesus
There’s so much left to do, thank you, Jesus
When trouble is near my heart
I’ve already made up in my mind
It won’t steer 'cause I know
I know You will never let me fall
So here I am, Jesus
I just want You to stay close
(Stay close)
Real close
(Real close to me)
Real close to me
You’re always there to comfort me, to comfort me
Whenever you’re in need
I give You the praise, Lord Jesus
When all my strength is almost gone
You said, "Call"
You’ll answer my prayer
In the midst of the storm
You’ll be right there
Stay close, real close to me
Stay close, real close to me
Stay close, real close to me
You said, "Call"
You’ll answer my prayer
In the midst of the storm
You’ll be right there
Stay close
Stay close, real close to me
