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.

I woke up this morning with this song and with a great conviction that the plague happening in the world today will draw many to the Lord.
This is a call for intimacy and true discipleship, knowing that we belong to Him whatever may be.

After several hours of spending quality time in God's presence, reading and studying His word, praying, worshing and waiting on Him....
Deu4: 34 in particular stood out to me of how God delivered Isreal in a way that no one had ever experienced before just like what the world is going through now all for a singular purpose of them becoming His own special people. The Spirit of God ministered to me to follow hard after Him and He will help me stand Rock solid and immediately He put this hymn in my heart . Truely the song is my prayer at this unsual times. How awesome. Thank you Jesus ❤

Got up for my quiet time this morning and God placed this song in my heart. This is all we need at this time of storm—nearness to God. As the entire world is shutting down O Lord draw us closer to yourself.

Woke up early this morning with this hymn in mind. When I looked up the lyrics I found this thread. Blessings to my fellow followers of the Lord.
As I was meditating this morning , God put this one on my heart as I was praying! Beautiful how He works! Singing it back to Him!

While unable to sleep tonight this lovely old hymn came to mind. As I read all the verses I realized it was my prayer too. So encouraging to read all the comments of people from near and afar. What a wonderful Savior we serve.

I was doing an appraisal of my life this morning and realized I need to be drawn nearer to the Lord, by the Lord. Draw me nearer O blessed Lord. Amen.
