Draw Me Nearer

 

Draw Me Nearer

If you want to hear God’s voice, if you want to draw nearer to Him, then you need to be in His word. God tells us who He is and how we can hear His voice in the scriptures. He tells us how to draw nearer to Him and beckons us to listen and wear His words on our sleeves. We will never know everything about God or understand all His ways but His words in the Bible helps us to navigate life towards meeting Him in the heavens where we will know and understand all things.

Lyrics by Fanny J. Crosby, Arranged by William H. Duane

“I am Thine, O Lord, I have heard Thy voice, and it told Thy love to me; But I long to rise in the arms of faith  and be closer drawn to Thee.

Consecrate me now to Thy service , Lord, by the power of grace divine; Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope, and my will is lost in Thine.

Oh, the pure delight of a single hour that before Thy throne I spend, when I kneel in prayer, and with Thee, my God, I commune as friend with friend!

There are depths of love that I cannot know till I cross the narrow sea; There are heights of joy that I may not reach till I rest in peace with Thee.

Draw me nearer, nearer blessed Lord, to the cross where Thou has died; Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord, to Thy precious healing side.
