Looking for lyrics to Move Up A Little Closer
I can only recall part of the first verse:
Oh, how well I can remember at old camp-meeting time
I'd linger in the shadows, try to hide this face of mine
Chorus is:
Move up a little closer, don't stand in the shadows
Come out and be counted with the children of the Lord
Move up a little closer, climb higher up the mountain
Come out and be counted with the children of the Lord
This is all I can remember of this song. Can anyone help with the rest of he words?

Move Up A Little Closer
Hi Steadfast,
I found this rendition by the Wilburn Brothers

Oh how well I do remember back in old camp meetin' times
I lingered in the shadows to hide this face of mine
I could barely hear the preacher barely hear the elders pray
Then one night I heard the still small voice say
Chorus
Move up a little closer don't hide in shadows
Come out and be counted with the children of the Lord
Move up a little closer climb higher up the mountain
Move up a little closer to the kingdom of the Lord
I pretended not to listen tried to close my burning ears
Foe I had been a sinner who wasted many years
So I turned to leave the meetin' but somehow I couldn't start
Once more I heard the voice in my heart

That's it! Thank you very much. It's frustrating when a song you once knew so well only comes in snatches of words. I think I shall have to start writing everything down. Again - thank you.

there's a third verse/
/I'm so thankful for the message that was sent to me that night. I've donned my christian armor and I've vowed to fight the fight. Now when I see a sinner standing in the shadows dim, I bow my head and say this prayer for them...
