Songs of Praise and Worship Inspired by Prem Rawat: Closer To You

This Youtube video was filmed at the Olympia, London, Guru Puja 22nd August 1980. Prem Rawat sits on stage afte giving satsang while Joe Creighton sings this song, I'm not sure of its title. Prem has cut his hair, lost a few pounds and finally has a real moustache. Both Joe Creighton and Ross Hannaford, the guitarist, became disillusioned with Prem Rawat.

For the first 20 years of his career Prem Rawat (Maharaji) was known as the Lord of the Universe or its Hindi equivalent, Guru Maharaj Ji and known as Sweet Lord or our Lord for short. This song is timeless and is still on high rotation in Prem Rawat's Greatest Hits. Prem Rawat taught that He was the Creator as well as the Destroyer and the Preserver.

Closer To You

Who made these people?
Every woman, every man,
Who breathes this life
Who can make us understand?
Oh Sweet Lord
Teach me to understand
Every day bring me closer
To you.

Cause that's what I wanted
Just to be your friend
That's what I wanted
Someone that understands
That's what I needed
Knows no end
To let me be part of your world
Let me, let me love you

Solo

So let me be part of your world
Let me, let me love you
Let me be part of your world
Let me, let me love you
