Helen Baylor - Look A Little Closer lyrics

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? (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) 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 (Ooh-ooh-ooh) 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 hear 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 (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) 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 (Ooh-ooh-ooh) 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 use to be (Ooh-ooh-ooh) I gave my life to Jesus And He gave a brand new life to me, yeah (Look closer) Help him feel Your loving touch (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) 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 (Ooh-ooh-ooh) Do for him what You've done for me Lord, set my brother free (Look closer) (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) I am not the girl I used to be My life is rearranged Yeah, yeah, look a little closer (Look closer) I'm not the one I use to be (Ooh-ooh-ooh) 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
