Country intertwined with jazz creates the perfect peppy musing of ‘Just A Closer Walk With Thee,’ as Jimmy Fortune sings at Larry’s Country Diner.
You are absolutely in for a real treat. Larry’s Country Diner is a unique down-home show taped in front of a live audience. It features special appearances by legendary country music artists. They interact with the show’s characters, such as Keith Bilbrey, Sheriff Jimmy Capps, Waitress Renae, and church lady Nadine!
The show’s wholesome content and fun episodes have turned it into a bellowed show watched by 1.4 million people every month. The only drawback for the audience is no real food. The pitchers and napkins on the tables are for props, but they don’t seem to mind. Instead, smiles and tapping feet can be seen as the band strikes up the beginning notes of ‘Just A Closer Walk With Thee.’
I am weak, but Thou art strong,
Jesus, keep me from all wrong,
I'll be satisfied as long
As I walk, let me walk close to Thee.
This song was written and performed by Kenneth Morris and Sallie Martin. It has become a beloved and favorite praise song over the years. Jimmy Fortune does a fabulous job performing dressed in a blue vest, and jeans, and strumming his guitar. With a smile on his face, he can’t help but dance to the rhythm. The legendary country singer had been a part of the Statler Brothers for over two decades before he embarked on a solo career. Jimmy released a gospel album and teamed up with Gaither Studios to play worship music around the world.
No matter who Jimmy is with or what stage he is on, his love for music and the Lord shines brightly. May Jimmy’s performance at Larry’s Country Diner be a blessed part of your day.
This song is the perfect way to give the Lord praise with an uplifted spirit and a pep in our step.
Colossians 2:6 “Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him.”
