It is always exciting to hear a bluegrass twist on a classic hymn. Check out this stunning bluegrass cover of ‘Just A Closer Walk with Thee.’

The Fiddes Girls take the stage with confidence. They are on a simple stage with a wonderful wooden cross in the background. As they start playing their instruments, the lead singer begins to sing. She has a fun and pure tone. Each of the girls is a different age and works together to make catchy music with their instruments. As they do the first impressive interlude, the audience cheers. 

The lead singer starts the second verse. She has a very intriguing yodel-type tone. These friends play, and the violinist (who is the youngest) plays beautiful instrumental solos. The crowd loves it every time. She has the courage and confidence to play with this group of older girls. 

The lyrics to “Just a Closer Walk with Thee” shares:

‘Just a closer walk with Thee

Grant it, Jesus, is my plea’

This song inspires us to seek Jesus daily. There is great value in the walk of faith. Each day, we have an invitation from our Savior to be in a close relationship with Him, but we have a choice. We can often ignore this calling for lesser things that consume our thoughts and attention. 

This upbeat song is filled with rich meaning. We can be encouraged and convicted by the lyrics. Hearing these young women play and sing this message motivates us that Jesus cares for us and He is worth pursuing every day of our lives. He is the best thing about living. He is our hope and we can know Him and be connected with Him deeply now.

“And now, just as you accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord, you must continue to follow him.” Colossians 2:6
