  • I love it .Let it be Lord In Your will, Your time and Your plan.!!!!!!

  • yewaw.

  • love this song

  • you don't know how long it took me to find this song. \

  • Sing Along time ...

    God Bless....

    Just a closer walk with thee..

  • Love it!

  • take my hand Lord Jesus take my hand, theres are race to be run. theres a victory to be won, every hour give me power, to go through.

  • I've heard countless people sing Just a Closer Walk over the years, but Anne Murray's version has always been my favourite.

  • love this song god is good all the time

  • This is 199 album - Anne Murray duet with Tommy West. I have that tape Cassete.

  • song of my life... reality......... just a closer walk along with take my hand .......... too good a combination beautifully blended .............

  • Jesus says, I am the( One ) way, the( One ) truth, and the( One life-giver) life, and no man comes to the (God) Father by me(Jesus)...And God calls the person who does not believe in God: A Fool. To God, he/she is a fool even if he/she has a degree, MBA or PHD. Dearest children, never ever call yourself an atheist and believe in yourself, believe in your education & not in God. The day will come, sooner or later, God will cast atheist into Lake of Fire as recorded in the King James Bible.

  • awesome.....

  • Very beautiful and inspiring, thank you dear Chris for sharing..LOVE is the greatest for me..Jesus is LOVE.

  • Thank you for this precious time of refreshment with The Lord Almignty. I will be uplifted all day with this marvellous canticle that gives glory To our Savior Jesus and reminds me that I can walk daily along with him - Praise the Lord for his goodness is everlasting !

  • great song praises him everday

  • WOW! I am not a big fan of Anne Murray, although I can't think of anything she recorded was bad. But, Oh what a gem. I decided to turn my will and life over to the care of God in the fall of 1985 and the joy of my walk is so well expressed by this song. It is especially meaningful as the 16th anniversary of my mother's commencement of her closer walk approaches. Bless you for this post and thank you so much.

  • Love is love in riuns or heaven Love is Love !

  • My one life will soon be past; Only what's done for Christ will last.

  • Having drifted away from the Lord for the past few years,this song really touched something in my heart.

  • Wow isnt it amizing if we all would walk closer to the lord jesus christ i know now that it is thank you

  • yeahhh

  • yea she really can belt it out =)

  • I'm playing this in my Jazz Band. The sheet music is called "New Orleans Jubilee" and it features the songs "When The Saints Come Marching In" and "Just A Closer Walk With Thee".

  • thank you friends

  • Beautiful

  • I don't now how many hours I listened as a continuous loop..what inspiration.

  • So beautiful, wonderful

  • Absolutely touching, beautiful and so enlightening.

  • lest walk with jesus he is our best friend

  • Love Anne Murray's music....don't think she ever released a bad one...but I think Judith Durham's version here on youtube of this great number stands alone. Take a listen

  • i want jesus to walk with jesus!

  • I'm at a loss to understand why Stonehenge, Wiltshire, England (3.02 approximately), symbolic of a pagan religion, is included in a Christian video?

  • @TheJaeger100 because it's creationism, it doesn't have to make sense, it just has to make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

  • the best version.

  • I enjoyed your video!

  • What is this short dressing?

  • Anne Murry LOLOLOLOLOL

    ROFL!

    LOLOLOLOLOL

  • @bugsycline ?????????????????????????????

  • @NOUNZYKRANZA I'll give you some help to understanding, cause you are obviously lost my child.

    This song was written and sung by slaves. It is not asking for strength it is asking for death, embacing death and wanting death.hard as it may be for you to understand in your white bread world there are/were some people who's life was more of a burdon than a blessing.

    Read "Uncle Tom's Cabin"

    Ironic part is Anne Murray represents the polar opposite of this song's humble beginnings

    hence LOL.

  • @bugsycline How dare you judge me in that way. How do you know my life is not a burden? How do you know that I am not being oppressed and judged each day? Anne Murray interpreted this song brilliantly, no matter what the origins. Please stop judging people you don`t know.

  • @NOUNZYKRANZA My comment had nothing to do with you, it was about the song.

    get your ego in check... the world does not revolve around you.

  • @bugsycline You seem to believe that only 'blacks' were slaves. Although we weren't sold into slavery by our own kind, or kidnapped by Arabs & sold into slavery, the working conditions & lives of the working classes were no better in most ways. Read 'Grapes of Wrath' if you think otherwise. Here in the UK it was employers with a Christian belief that started to change things, & abolish slavery. So regardless of how you look at the song, it is Christian based.

  • @bugsycline Interesting history you have listed here. I'm wondering what your source for this is? Personally I'd like to check it out for myself.

  • @fq7h1pe9 source? not one souce my friend... just millions of records at my fingertips and the largest 78 rpm collection in the east coast.. I have earned other stripes to help back my claims and have read many books as well however come to my channel and get some history if ya wanna learn something about music.

  • @bugsycline Ok, I went to your channel and listened to your message in the video, but there is still no information on the source of this song being made by the slaves. In fact a search through historical information about this song shows that it first appeared in the 1930's and was first published in the 1940's. Prior to that there is no record, written or spoken, of this song at all.

    I do know that there were many songs used by slaves for the underground railroad, yes, but this isn't one.

  • wtf

  • @MassFragment watch your dirty mouth pal.

  • My favourite song since I was at ISCF camp. Still my prayer to my Lord Jesus.

  • Love Anne's version. Check out JOAN BAEZ's take. TOO MUCH!

    Like Olivia's version from the movie too.

  • great

  • Great version of this Christian staple! It's good to know where you're going in the afterlife. Thanks for the post gersomclark .... and thanks to Grace for the share!

  • I Love this song !! thank yu for sharing it !! Closer walk with the Lord everyday of mylife ,, He is my everything and my hope for today tomorrow and forever evr more !Love you Lord!!!

  • Beautiful. Just beautiful.

    Thank you for sharing. Much appreciated.

  • very uplifting song..thanks for sharing!

  • Love Anne Murray songs!

    Thanks for sharing

  • I've have always loved Anne Murray. Never heard her in this moving musical form however.  I appreciate and really like this. Thanks for the post!

  • "Every hour give me power...........". Thanks so much for having this shared.

  • I have played this song over and over and have not tired of Annie's voice and feel a closeness to my belief in my christian up bringing through the Ulster troubles, Let it be; dear Lord ; let it be..

  • no matter how bad of a day I have had, or my mood, this song puts a smile on my face. It has a calming effect on me.

  • i just enjoy her singing. 

  • starting the video the woman show her buttocks,this is no right!!

  • There ia a separate hymn called "Take my hand, Lord Jesus, take my hand", right?

    I searched everywhere for it but couldn't find it. I know there is one called "Take my hand, Precious Lord", which is altogether different.

  • @TatarInExile Try looking for, " Precious Lord take my hand", i found many that way, including Elvis rendition.

  • Not sure why we start this video with a soft-porn shot. Seems really out of place....

  • I like this version - up tempo, invigorating. Because that's what the closer walk is like. Life can be great one day but the next you feel like it sucks and you wonder how you will keep going. Ah but the closer walk carries you into joy no matter what!

  • Jesus is Alive!

  • @thejesuslove33 AMEN@ He is alive and livining. All we have to do is open our eyes and look.

  • JUST STAY WITH HIM,HE WILL GUIDE WHERE EVER YOU GO.

  • hallelujah!

  • Praise the Lord...just a closer walk is my plea!

  • this song was play at my mom showing,wen she die,september 29,2010. rip mom carolyn lee winkles 61. feb 10 1944 -2010.

  • @triphester My condolences on your loss. I hope your memories of your mother may sustain you as you live on without her.

  • @triphester My condolences God in his mercy will fill the gap your mum left just walk more closer with Him

  • Sensational version of a great hym!!! Thanks for postingit!!!

  • for edonotokyo and ahuj 89

    live and let be

    ,it's just a closer walk with thee

  • Mercy! Been a long time since I've heard this one. Excellent!!!!

  • I like this song even though there's no such thing as god

  • @ahuj89 prove it

  • @edonotokyo you likely use materialist philosophy for all your regular problems in life but you don't. under any standard of knowledge we use god isn't real

  • @ahuj89 Correct. God is immaterial...or rather God transcends material...time and space...what isn't real is the material world...it's all illusion created by our limited sense perception and mental representation....the ability to see or know God has to be developed by an intuitive knowledge . . .accepting that we cannot know God intellectually is one such way. . . another way to know God is through via negativa..a Latin term meaning not this...In other words God isn't anything we can describe

  • @edonotokyo Right, and it's incredibly convenient you believe in a negativa that gives you life after death and has specific material rules and rituals for you to follow. You are a material being in a material world and you likely use the standard of "knowing" things materially to solve everyday problems, but the negativa is a convenient justification to control material society, when in fact it should be completely separate to the point of irrelevance.

  • @ahuj89 Wrong. I believe, I don't believe...who cares what I or anyone else thinks intellectually ( thoughts are only material for the mind)...to experience the Sacred (which God must be), we rise above the limits of rationalism. . . the mind must become spirit

  • let,s pray to HIM!

  • Fantastic !! A great ``sing along``- to praise our heavenly Father !! Thank you !!

  • I LOVE THAT SONG

  • my husbands favorite song though he left God

  • To anyone who feels a connection to this wonderful song,spiritual or otherwise......

    please type in 'Just A Closer Walk With Thee, The Seekers' ... and feel uplifted by the God given talents of Judith Durham. Please experience it....just once......

  • Wonderful

  • Anne, to this writer, has the strongest female country voice since Patsy, and she is the closest in bringing a sense of beauty, strength, clarity, power and absolute perfection to any song she records. Bless you Anne. Thanks for your music.

    Andy

  • There is a time to dance!!

  • for my brothers and sisters that are not believers (atheists) in our Lord Christ Jesus. God is real and Jesus Christ did not die for the righteous and believers but for you and me, the sinners and unbelievers. His message is not about a religion, in fact He hates religions... His message is about bringing his heavenly kingdom down to earth for us mankind so that we are no longer suffering, hungry, sick if we believe in Him.... Praise be to God always...

  • I'm an atheist, but I find this song utterly beautiful.

  • @ChesapeakeBeach, please say this prayer my friends in Christ Jesus:

    "Lord Jesus, beginning today, I ask you to become the Lord of my life. I believe that you died for my sins and rose again from the dead. Lord, I confess that I am a sinner and I repent of my sins. Thank you for forgiving me and cleansing me. Come into my life and guide me to live for you from now on. Thank you for giving me eternal life now. Thank you for the guarantee that you will never give up on me." Amen

  • @gersomclark Well said! I became engaged over christmas, and believe a life of the Lord will help my fiance and I with a long and healthy marriage.

    When I read what you said, I had the biggest smile because I said almost same thing with my pastor over a year ago when I decided to let Jesus become part of my life and ever since I have not been in a bad mood. If I felt I was getting angry, I just closed my eyes and prayed

  • @gersomclark this is the gateway to eternal salvation! Thank God for sending Jesus to die on the cross at calvary and save us from our sins!

  • @gersomclark if u think this song is beautiful listen to god is the mountain by lynda randal

  • @gersomclark Amen to that.

  • @ChesapeakeBeach It speaks.

  • Let me walk close to you Lord, Just a talking walking fool for you!

  • Today i leave this world. The sadness is too much. God please forgive me of my sins and be with me. To my family I am truly sorry for letting you down, I love you always.

  • Awesom, this person took great pains to do this wonderful video, beautiful pics!

  • Jesus has everything to do with palm trees on the beach.

  • dont stain a good song with that discusting picture at the start

  • @animalsfunny1 that is for sure. i am glad to see that I am not the only one that found it profound. I really like this song and how it is sung by Anne Murrey.

  • I LOVE THIS SONG

  • At 74, I am learning to play upright bass and play in the 3C Cowboy church band. This song has the shuffle beat I am learning, and practicing with Anne on this song is helping me a lot. This is more country style that carries an important gospel messqage to people who would not usually sit in a regular church pew.

  • Sólo caminar más cerca de Ti, concédelo Jesús, te ruego.

  • that's the best version of this song i've ever heard.

  • The sound quality was distracting - BUT - it did make me get off my buttocks and play my bass.

  • No one like her. Nova Scotia's Queen of song. Thank you Anne for all the joy you bring.

  • Beautiful song! Thank you for sharing

  • hey this is myaneikaka and this rrealy does bless me and i thank the lord very much

  • To God be The Glory! Help me Jesus! Allelluia!

  • I remember Pat Boone singing this as a child, but this version with the video the bouncy piano and Anne Murray singing, tremendous.

  • oops! I meant to do this as a thumbs ..Sorry..an accident..

  • awesome video love it

  • very uplifting song---i could use a closer walk with the lord. he is my hope today tomorrow and forever.---lilladdy77

  • Over the years we have all been lied to by many false Religous Leaders and so called prophets. Many things we have been taught are not even in Scripture and millions have swallowed so many lies by these false leaders. If you are a truth seeker please visit the web site which is displayed in our user name and take the time to read some of the articles... You will be very shocked.

    There is a great audio there for you to listen to. You will come away asking many questions.

    Blessings

    Thanks Ben

  • maybe you should pray to God to lead you to the real truth!

  • 2besavedcom; Yes and also it is very shocking to watch the fund raising that some christian T.V networks do to raise funding.Dont get me wrong ,they need thier funding but; to say things like ;every 9 years is the "year of birthing" ,and if you give this year you will be something like"extra blessed".They are playing off a biblical cycle that God layed down (you know the 50 year cycle) but this cycle is every 9 years.(i do not recall it) and givers would be like"extra blessed"(or something).

  • The combo of Just a closer walk and take my hand are awesome together!!! But would like to know the singer doing the Take My Hand part.

  • who is the male singer in that?

  • God bless you, very good

    Dios te bendiga, muy bien.

  • Mighty upbeat for Anne.

  • Very inspirational and moving -both the music and the graphics

  • i love this song makes me want to behave when i heard religious musicv

  • A favourite of many years never fails to inspire me to be faithful to our Lord Jesus

  • Oh,,..Jesus...please help me to change...

  • @knerhtoo praying, for His grace may you know His peace
