I am Thine, O Lord, I have heard Thy voice

1
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.
  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.
2
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.
3
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!
4
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.

I can sing this song a thousand times and one. It expresses the emotions I feel and quite put into words when I want to talk to God. One of my favourite hymns.

This morning my spirit was drawn closer onto the Lord when I sang the song during morning devotion. So I decided to check the full lyrics and indeed it is a song with prayers. God bless the soul he used for this song.

The Holy Sprit brought this song to my attention today reminding me to draw nearer, as we draw nearer God draws us in. It is his promise if we seek him, we will find him if we seek him with all our hearts. So this is my prayer today, Draw me nearer Lord 🙏🏾💕 Beautiful beautiful hymn and prayer.
