HC Derksen: Music

Closest To Jesus

(HC Derksen)
He starts his day with a talk to his Lord,/ Then dresses to go to his job./ She gives him a kiss and then / heads to her work / Helping folks get letters to and from home./ But when they are done they plan for the weekend / A chapter to meet and build up / Giving words to encourage and prayers of support / They’re the closest to Jesus I’ve seen./ They are the closest to Jesus I’ve seen / Never complaining about anything. / Driving thousands of miles at a cost of their own / Taking time for someone who’s hurt or alone / They are the closest to Jesus I’ve seen / Never seeking fame or renown / For souls changed by their love of the Lord,/ Their reward another jewel in their crown / Now when you see them would you give them a hug / And tell them the difference they’ve made / How your life has changed, because of their love / It never will be the same./ Remember these words when you’re out in the world / So someone is able to say / My life’s been changed forever./ You are the closest to Jesus I’ve seen.
