The Wilburn Brothers - Move Up a Little Closer lyrics

Oh how well I do remember back to old camp meetin' times I lingered in the shadows to hide this face of mine I could barely hear the preacher barely hear the olders pray Then one night I heard the still small voice say Move up a little closer don't hide in shadows Come now and be counted with the children of the Lord Move up a little closer climb high up the mountain Move up a little closer to the kingdom of the Lord ( piano ) I pretended not to listen tried to close my burning ears Although I'd been a sinner who wasted many years So I turned to leave the meetin' but somehow I couldn't start Once more I heard the voice in my heart Move up a little closer... ( dobro ) I'm so thnakful for the message that was sent to me that night I dawned by Christian armor and I bowed to spread the lights Now when I see you sinner standing in the shadows dim I bow my head and say this praer for him Move up a little closer...
