Hello Folks and welcome to another episode of A Song a Day (Keeps Coronavirus Away)
Before I go any further, I would just like to take a moment to say thanks. Thanks for listening the first time and thanks for returning.
I checked my stats and there's one particular person who has listened to every episode and I'm quite honored.
I've still got quite a few songs left in me and my voice is finally starting to come back to normal.
If there's a particular song of which you'd like to hear a snippet, leave me a voice message with the info. If at all possible I will oblige.

Now for today's song:
Close to Thee (Gaither Live Gathering, lovely rendition)
Thou my everlasting portion
More than friend or life to me
All alone my pilgrim journey
Saviour let me walk with Thee
Close to Thee, close to Thee
Close to Thee, close to Thee
All alone my pilgrim journey
Saviour let me walk with Thee
Not for easy wordly pleasure
Nor for fame my prayer shall be
Gladly will I toil and suffer
Only let me walk with Thee
Close to Thee, close to Thee
Close to Thee, close to Thee
Gladly will I toil and suffer
Only let me walk with Thee
Lead me through the veil of shadows
Bear me o'er life's fitful sea
Then the gate of life eternal
May I enter Lord with Thee
Close to Thee, close to Thee
Close to Thee, close to Thee
Then the gate of life eternal
May I enter Lord with Thee...
Then the gate of life eternal
May I enter Lord with Thee...
Songwriters: Fanny J. Crosby / Silas Jones Vail
