Look A Little Closer (Remastered Version) - Helen Baylor
I met an old friend today
In the café on the hill
To see him after all these years
Somehow did not seem strange
We laughed and reminisced about
The life we used to live
And I could tell at least with him
That nothing much had changed
An invitation to the party
Was all he had to offer
Everyone will be there
And all the high you need is free
As he checked the time and he paid the check
He said we ought to hurry
And I could tell the one he was talking to
Was the old me
And I said look a little closer
Look closer
Can't you see that I have changed
I am not the girl I used to be
My life is rearranged
Look a little closer
Look closer
I'm not the one I use to be
I gave my heart to Jesus
And he gave
A brand new life to me
As we began to leave the table
And we started for the door
In my heart there was a stirring
And I knew there was something more
In his eyes there was an emptiness
That only Jesus could fill
It reminded me of how I use to be
Before I accepted him
After an awkward moment
He broke the silence when he said
I've heard about a savior
Or was it
Something that I've read
But I don't need religion
There's nothing to it anyway
I asked him if
He wouldn't mind if we
If we took time to pray
Lord help him look a little closer
Look closer
Help him feel your loving touch
Remove the blinders and change his heart
Surround him with your love
Lord help him look a little closer
Look closer
Help him know that you are near
Do for him what you've done for me Lord
Set my brother free yeah yeah
Set my brother free
Would you do that for me yes
Oh Lord
My lord
Set my brother free oh yeah
Jesus makes a difference
He is everything you need
Lord help him look a little closer
Look closer
Help him know that you are near
I am not the girl I used to be
My life is rearranged
Look a little closer
Look closer
I'm not the one I used to be
I gave my life to Jesus
And he gave
A brand new life to me yeah
Look closer
Help him feel your loving touch
Remove the blinders and change his heart
Surround him with your love
Lord help him look a little closer
And me
Look closer
Help him know that you are near
Do for him what you've done for me Lord
Set my brother free yeah
I am not the girl I used to be
My life is rearranged
Yeah yeah look a little closer
I'm not the one I used to be
I gave my life to Jesus
And he gave
A brand new life to me
Jesus set me free
And he alone is worthy
Yes he alone is worthy
Just look a little closer
