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.
And it told Thy love to me;
But I long to rise in the arms of faith,
And be closer drawn to Thee.
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.
To the cross where Thou hast died;
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
To Thy precious, bleeding side.

Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord,
By the pow'r of grace divine;
Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,
And my will be lost in Thine.
By the pow'r of grace divine;
Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,
And my will be lost in Thine.

O 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!
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 yet may know
Ere Thee face to face I see;
There are heights of joy that I yet may reach
Ere I rest in peace with Thee.
Ere Thee face to face I see;
There are heights of joy that I yet may reach
Ere I rest in peace with Thee.

The perfection of love and joy is in God's presence. That is where I want to be. Please draw me nearer my Lord Jesus Christ.

In the stillness of the morning, with all this COVID 19, I find myself needing a special visit from my Jesus. This song was placed on my heart. One of my 2020 goals is to fall in love with Jesus more and more everyday. Draw me Nearer!!

All I want is to be drawn near to you Lord. Peaceful thought.
Before now, Even now, After now. All I want is to be near you Lord.

As others have said, this song came to me during my prayer time this morning. I believe drawing closer to the one and only true Savior, Jesus Christ is the only way to get through this crisis, He is in control.

As my heart has been heavy laden by the unknowns surrounding Covid 19 and the realities we're facing, my neighbor sang the lyrics to this old hymn and solace filled my heart. May the truth of these words bring that special peace that passes all understanding to all. God bless

Daily I have basked in the sunshine of the friendship of my Lord and
Saviour Jesus Christ. This is the song that was on my heart this morning.
I thank Him continually for saving me and allowing me to have a close
relationship with Him.

Early April 16th this song was on my heart. I believe God told me "You Are Mine, Deb"! Awesome! So thankful I heard His voice years ago!

I have not been close to God for a long time. Satan was busy using me to offend my God. Then tragedy struck. My only son gave up March 23 2020 at 19. I now felt the emptiness of life and my desire to dedicate my life to my creator so I remembered this song. Am all His... let Him use me.

This song is so inspiring as draws closer and closer to my Lord Jesus Christ on daily basis. So be inspired as well.

It is 3am. I too am reminded by my Lord of this song that my Mom and I sang together over 60 years ago. I come to this site for the complete lyrics and I discover that our great God is reminding His children all over the world: you are Mine dear child, hear my voice, as I tell you of My Love for you. Praise God!
