Closer to Me

Away in a manger no crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head
The stars in the sky look down where he lay
The little Lord Jesus, asleep in the hay

The cattle are lowing, the poor baby wakes
But little Lord Jesus no crying He makes
I love you Lord Jesus, look down through the air
And stay by my side 'till morning is near

What kind of love is this, how can it be?
You would come as a baby, to set my heart free!
The best gift of all, Jesus you gave to me
When you laid down your life, to be closer to me

When you came as a baby, that first Christmas night
You gave us the gift of the first Christmas light
You lived and you died
Paid the ultimate price
All so we could know The Way
The Truth, and The Life!

What kind of love is this, how can it be?
You would come as a baby, to set my heart free!
The best gift of all, Jesus you gave to me
When you laid down your life, to be closer to me

Hallelujah! Glory to God in the highest
Hallelujah! I wanna be closer to you this Christmas!

What kind of love is this, how can it be?
You would come as a baby, to set my heart free!
The best gift of all, Jesus you gave to me
When you laid down your life, to be closer to me
