Draw Me Nearer
“Draw me nearer, nearer blessed Lord, to the cross where Thou hast died. Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer blessed Lord, to Thy precious bleeding side.” ~ Fanny Crosby
This has been my prayer lately–that God will draw me nearer to Himself. Without Him, life is empty and frightening but, when He is near, nothing can harm me. No one can take away the peace and joy I have when I’m holding my Savior’s hand.
We tell our children to hold our hand and stay close to us so they don’t get hurt but how many times do we get distracted and let go of the Savior’s hand to all of a sudden find that we’re not as close to Him as we thought we were? As for me, I want to walk just as close as I possibly can. Nothing the world has to offer can compare with the life Christ gives.
“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” (emphasis mine).
