Randy Travis did a great version of this classic gospel song. He is such a great country singer! “Just a Closer Walk with Thee” is a traditional gospel song that has been performed and recorded by many artists. The lyrics were inspired by the Bible in 2 Corinthians 5:7 which says: “We walk by faith, not by sight,” and James 4:8 which says: “Come near to God and He will come near to you.” Be blessed!
I am weak but Thou art strong Jesus keep me from all wrong I’ll be satisfied as long as I walk Dear Lord, close to Thee.
Just a closer walk with Thee Grant it Jesus, is my plea Daily walkin’ close to Thee Let it be, dear Lord, let it be.
Through this world of toils and snares If I falter Lord, who cares? Who with me my burden shares? None but Thee, dear Lord, none but Thee.
Just a closer walk with Thee Grant it Jesus, is my plea Daily walkin’ close to Thee Let it be, dear Lord, let it be.
When my feeble life is o’er And time for me will be no more Guide me gently, safely o’er To Thy kingdom dear Lord, to Thy shore.
Just a closer walk with Thee Grant it Jesus, is my plea Daily walkin’ close to Thee Let it be, dear Lord, let it be.

“Amazing Grace” Lyrics
Amazing grace! How sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me I once was lost but now I am found Was blind, but now I see.
T’was grace that taught my heart to fear And grace my fears relieved How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed.
Through many dangerous toils, and snares I have already come T’is grace that brought me safe thus far And grace will lead me home.
When we’ve been there ten thousand years Bright shining as the sun We’ve known less days to sing God’s grace Than when we first begun…

Be blessed by this Number 1 Country Music Single of iconic country singer Randy Travis entitled Three Wooden Crosses. He performed this song live at the historic Grand Ole Opry stage. “Three Wooden Crosses” was named Song of the Year by the Country Music Association in 2003 and won a Dove Award from the Gospel Music Association as Country Song of the Year in 2004.
The song describes four passengers – a farmer on vacation, a teacher seeking higher education, a hooker, and a preacher, both of whom were “searching for lost souls,” on a mid-night bus traveling from the United States to Mexico. The bus is involved in a fatal accident when the bus driver doesn’t see a stop sign and the bus is hit by an 18-wheeler which kills three of the four passengers.
A farmer and a teacher, a hooker and a preacher Ridin’ on a midnight bus bound for Mexico One’s headed for vacation, one for higher education And two of them were searchin’ for lost souls That driver never ever saw the stop sign And eighteen wheelers can’t stop on a dime
There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway Why there’s not four of them, Heaven only knows I guess it’s not what you take when you leave this world behind you It’s what you leave behind you when you go
That farmer left a harvest, a home and eighty acres The faith and love for growin’ things in his young son’s heart And that teacher left her wisdom in the minds of lots of children Did her best to give ’em all a better start And that preacher whispered, “Can’t you see the Promised Land?” As he laid his blood-stained bible in that hooker’s hand
There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway Why there’s not four of them, Heaven only knows I guess it’s not what you take when you leave this world behind you It’s what you leave behind you when you go
That’s the story that our preacher told last Sunday As he held that blood-stained bible up For all of us to see He said “Bless the farmer, and the teacher, and the preacher Who gave this Bible to my mama Who read it to me”There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway Why there’s not four of them, now I guess we know It’s not what you take when you leave this world behind you It’s what you leave behind you when you go
There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway

Above all powers above all kings Above all nature and all created things Above all wisdom and all the ways of man You were here before the world began
Above all kingdoms above all thrones Above all wonders the world has ever known Above all wealth and treasures of the earth There’s no way to measure what You’re worth
Crucified laid behind a stone You lived to die rejected and alone Like a rose trampled on the ground You took the fall and thought of me Above all (repeat 3x)
Like a rose trampled on the ground You took the fall and thought of me Above all
