Look A Little Closer

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?

(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

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

(Ooh-ooh-ooh)

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 hear 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

(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

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

(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
