nearer

I would run from You

Still You called me to be yours

Your grace and your mercy

Overwhelmed me.

And in the stillness of this moment

Give me faith like a child

Draw me nearer to Your heart,

Near to Your heart,

Immerse me in, Your righteousness

Your steadfast love,

Break me and make me a new creature in you

And see that my heart is yours.

You said, "Come to me,

All you who are weary

And burdened,

And I'll give you rest."

So I come humbly before You,

Unworthy of this gift

Yet you draw me ever nearer,

Near to Your heart.

The sacrifice of Your Son,

Of You, oh God

Brings me to my knees.

A matchless love

That was displayed upon that cross

Creates a new song in my heart

Draw me nearer, nearer blessed Lord

To the cross where Thou hast died

Draw me nearer, nearer blessed Lord

To thyself now glorified 

Matthew 11:28

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."
