Mighty Close To Heaven

Darkness falls around me
Forces of evil hound me
And I need a friend who loves in turn
When I pass temptation
In my jubilation

I get mighty close to heaven through my dear
Mighty close to heaven
Mighty close to heaven
When I kneel with Jesus all alone, all alone
Mighty close to heaven
Mighty close to heaven
I get mighty close to heaven through my dear

When I'm sad and weary
Need the sunshine cherry
Long for one who'll understand my care
While my heart's a-heelin'
Peace from God comes stealin'

I get mighty close to heaven through my dear
Mighty close to heaven
Mighty close to heaven
When I kneel with Jesus all alone, all alone
Mighty close to heaven
Mighty close to heaven
I get mighty close to heaven through my dear

My sickness comes creepin'
Leaves a loved one sleepin'
Crushin' my poor heart with grief and care
When my friends can't answer
Turnin' to my Master

I get mighty close to heaven through my dear
Mighty close to heaven
Mighty close to heaven
When I kneel with Jesus all alone, all alone
Mighty close to heaven
Mighty close to heaven
I get mighty close to heaven through my dear
