Look A Little Closer (Album 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
