Wah di Bible say
He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High
Shall abide in the shadow of the Almighty (Close to me God)
Yohooo

I want to be close to You, Jesus
Don't wanna to be far away
Hay, hay, hay

Don't wanna be far away
Hay, hay, hay

Well like a belt and a buckle that's how me want fi stay

Living in your presence I could neva go astray

And I wanna tell You that I love You
Cause when I am in Your presence

But, to express myself
But a one drop a blood
