Living Close

Ingemar Olsson

I want to spend my lifetime
Close to everyone
More and more I want to learn that I’m
In a family where ever I may run
Therefore, Jesus,
What I want to do
Is to be, where ever I’m going
Living close to you

I want to spend my lifetime
Close to everyone
Cry together with those who have a hard time
Laugh together with people having fun
Always fighting evil
Where it’s shining through
Jesus use me
You know how well it suits me
Living close to you

I want to spend my lifetime
Close to everyone
Showing love to all and everybody
On the earth, beneath the same old sun
But everyone’s too many
At least for me, that’s true
The only way, since you know everybody
Is living close to you
