My mind’s been full of worldly concerns
And I begin to think without me it won’t turn
It seems I can’t see the forest for the trees
I need to spend more time in Your word and on my knees
When the work I need to do for You
Seems too much for me-the hours too few
When my train of thought goes off track
I know that You can surely bring it back
Lord, sometimes the words are hard to find
They let loose and flow sometimes
It’s like You’re here and telling me
My heart’s not as close as it needs to be
Chorus
I need to get a little bit closer to You
I need to fill my mind with Your truth
I know everything will be alright
If I make You the center of my sights
If I can only stay
A little bit closer to You
