Wilburn Brothers - Move Up A Little Closer Lyrics
Verse #1Oh 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 elders pray,Then one night I heard a still small voice say...ChorusMove up a little closer don't hide in the shadows,Come out and be counted with the children of the Lord,Move up a little closer climb higher up the mountain,Move up a little closer to the Kingdom of the Lord.Verse#2I pretended not to listen tried to close my burning ears,Although I'd been a sinner who had wasted many years,I turned to leave the meetin' but somehow I couldn't start,Once more I heard the voice in my heart....Verse#3I'm so thankful for the message that was sent to me that nightI donned my Christian armor and I vowed to spread the lightNow when I see a sinner standing in the shadows dimI bow my head and say this prayer for him...
