The crowd is pressing thronging Him He seems so far away I wonder if I'll ever have the strength to make my way In desperation I push through I must, I must succeed In touching one who has the power to meet my every need Closer to Jesus That's where I long to be I long to touch have the hem of His garment Just within my reach If I draw near to Him, He will draw near to me I want to be Closer to Jesus I touched Him now I know His power is more than I could see So suddenly the sin and guilt is gone and I am free He turns to me and all the great compassion in His voice Thy faith has made thee whole He says, and now I can rejoice Let me be closer to Jesus That's where I long to be I long to touch have the hem of His garment Just within my reach If I draw near to Him, He will draw near to me I want to be Closer to Jesus If I draw near to Him, He will draw near to me I want to be Closer to Jesus I want to be Closer to Jesus Jesus...
