Just a Closer Walk with Thee is a wonderful hymn but the hymn does not give a clue to how to achieve that Walk. The words go on to say, “Let it be.” The Lord wants all His children to have a closer Walk with Him, so how can we ask Him to let it be? He is not the problem. The Lord is not holding you back. Us children are the ones who must make the Walk closer than it is now. Each of us must press in to the Lord eagerly and consistently to achieve that Closer Walk. The Closer Walk takes commitment and great desire along with really anointed teaching. See Take/Receive in Glossary.
