draw me nearer

When the sin within entices...
When the pride of my heart swells...
When the comforts of this life fail...
When the temptations feel too great...
When I am driven to despair...
When the evil one condemns me...
When I am too weak to stand...
When I have failed once again...
When my faith falters...
When joy abounds...
When I doubt your grace and mercy...
When I am running away...
When I cannot sense your presence...
When the grief in my heart overwhelms me...
When your discipline seems heavy...
When I taste your goodness...
When darkness surrounds me...
When I am alone...
When I stand in your presence...
When the battle rages...

For your nearness Lord I hunger
For your nearness Lord I wait
Hold me ever closer Father
Such a love I can’t escape

For your nearness I am hoping
For your nearness Lord I long
Have no need of any other
I have found where I belong
Yes, I have found where I belong

So draw me nearer Lord
Never let me go
Closer to your heart
Draw me nearer Lord
Draw me nearer Lord

In your nearness there is healing
What was broken now made whole
Restoration in its fullness
Lasting hope for all who come

In your nearness I take shelter
Where you are is where I’m home
I have need of only one thing
To be here before your throne
To be here before you throne

And keep me here, keep me here
There’s nowhere else I rather be
So keep me here, keep me here
There’s nowhere else I rather be
There’s nowhere else I rather be
