Just a Closer Walk with Thee
George Lewis and His New Orleans Stompers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you need a helping hand
And nothing, nothing is going right
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest night
You just call out my name
I'll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there
You've got a friend
If the sky above you
Grows dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind begins to blow
Keep you head together
And call my name out loud
Soon you'll hear me knocking at you door
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there
Ain't it good to know that you've got a friend
When people can be so cold
They'll hurt you, and desert you
And take your soul if you let them
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there
You've got a friend
You've got a friend
Ain't it good to know you've got a friend
Ain't it good to know you've got a friend
The song "Just a Closer Walk With Thee" by George Lewis is a gospel track that outlines the importance of having a friend in hard times. The first verse of the song acknowledges that sometimes life can be tough and nothing seems to be going right, and it is at this point that the singer offers their help to the listener. They encourage the listener to close their eyes and think of them and in no time, they'll be there to lighten up the darkest night.
The second verse of the song talks more about the struggles of life but encourages listeners to be strong and keep their head together.

When you're down and troubled
When you are feeling sad and overwhelmed
And you need a helping hand
And you require assistance
And nothing, nothing is going right
And nothing in your life seems to be going well
Close your eyes and think of me
Think of me and imagine my presence beside you
And soon I will be there

To brighten up even your darkest night
To bring light to your darkest moments

And I'll be there
And I will be there for you
If the sky above you
When it seems like the world is against you
Grows dark and full of clouds
And everything becomes uncertain and hazy
And that old north wind begins to blow
And you are faced with adversity
Keep you head together
Stay calm and composed
And call my name out loud
And remember my name and cry out for my help
Soon you'll hear me knocking at you door
And soon I will arrive at your door to help you
Ain't it good to know that you've got a friend
Isn't it wonderful to have someone who cares about you
When people can be so cold
When other people can be unkind and uncaring
They'll hurt you, and desert you
They will harm you and abandon you
And take your soul if you let them
And make you feel empty if you allow them to
You've got a friend
You have someone who cares about you
Ain't it good to know you've got a friend
Isn't it wonderful to have someone who cares about you
Ain't it good to know you've got a friend
Isn't it wonderful to have someone who cares about you
