Many words of wisdom have been given us as tangible as turning the page 
	Dm7		 G	     Dm7		G 
But we tend to keep our distance and resist the simple choice 
     Bb2	   F/A		   Dm7    G 
Then wonder why we cannot hear His quiet voice 
 
Chorus: 
C2		     Dm7 
Stay close, don't go, stay close 
          C2/E		      F2  G 
No, don't make those same mistakes 
C2			   Dm7		       F2 
Take those things that you know to be true and hold them to you 
	  G	   Bb2 
Don't let go, stay close 
 
  C2	     F2		C2	   F2

Many times I've seen the wonder of His ways, lost in the closet of neglect 
But the door is always open to the turning of a phrase 
A brilliant light spills inside to show the way
