O Lord, draw me nearer, for apart from you I can do nothing. Unless you draw me - call to my heart - nothing within me would ever seek that sweet place beneath your cross, at your feet, hidden in Christ, covered by His blood, and robed in His righteousness.
O Lord, draw me nearer. Hide me in the shadow of your wings. Let me hear your beautiful voice in prayer for me, singing over me and whispering in my ear, "This is the way; walk here." (Isaiah 30:21)
O Lord, draw me nearer. Pull me into your embrace. Keep me close to your side. May my eyes be fixed upon yours, in a tender communion that needs no words. In the stillness of that intimate moment, hear my heart of praise as I sing my love to You.
O Lord, draw me nearer and may I ever abide in You, for I delight to dwell in your shade...under the banner of your love. (Song of Songs 2:3,4) Here, tucked away and hidden in you, I will obey your commands and joyfully remain, as you prune and cut away those areas of my life that would hinder the bearing of much fruit for your glory.(from John 15:10,11)
O Lord, draw me nearer that my lips may overflow with praise. May I sing of your great love forever; (and) make known your faithfulness to all generations. Let them know that you, whose name is the LORD -- that you alone are the Most High over all the earth.(from Psalm 119:171, 89:1, 83:18)
O Sovereign Lord, draw me nearer that I may live!
