Jezi, kenbe m pre lakwa
San ou te vèse la,
Pou l ka pirifye tout nanm
Ki ta plonje ladan.

Kè:
Pre lakwa, (2 fwa)
Mwen vle toujou rete,
Jouk Jezi vini chache m
Pou l ka ban mwen lajwa

Pou Jehovah vini chache m
pou l ka ban mwen lajwa

Pou Jezi vini chache m
pou l ka ban mwen lajwa
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jesus, keep me close to the cross
Your blood was spilled,
To purify the souls
That would dive in.

Chorus:
Close to the Cross, (2 times)
I always want to stay,
Until Jesus comes looking for me
That He may give me joy

May Jehovah come seek me
that He may give me joy

May Jesus to come seek me
that He may give me joy
