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 can't sleep yesterday night until in the morning around 5:15 am. Around 3:00 am, I got a song, "I am Thine, O Lord, I have heard Thy voice. Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord". Some tears can come down with that assurance. I searched for the song, sang a couple times and slept around 5:00 am in the morning".
Yes LORD, now I confirmed Your voice. Thank You for choosing me.

I was at work yesterday... and standing I heard these words..."I am Thine Oh Lord" I am familiar with the song. But yesterday this song gave me a greater meaning than just singing the words, but meditating on what this song meant in that moment. And what Holy Spirit was reminding me of. I am Yours oh God. God was reminding me Natheira you belong to Me. Always love this song.

At the verge of seeking God's face towards His divine direction in fulfilling Purpose/Destiny, after reading the book of Ephesians... I was led to sing this hymn... Closeness to God reveals his mystery.... I particular love the second stanza.... God draw me nearer daily to Yourself I pray in Jesus name.

I remember my mom and grandmother singing this hymn to us children when they were trying to get us to go to sleep. No I am 32 years old with children of my own and I often find myself singing this hymn to them when im getting them to go to sleep. It's just so heart felt and so catchy. I love it and will always hold it dear to My heart. My grandmother has now passed away and this song reminds me of her Everytime I sing it. I pray that my children will song it to their children some day.

We should surrender everything to God.

I really do like this song that I feel very closer to my God when I sing the song and/or while hearing it.
May God bless all who frankly want to leave their entire life guided by Lord!
Thank you so much and best regards,

My heart's cry. Nearness to God is our privilege, my privilege. He initiates, and only he who accepts the invite will know salvation as it was designed to be known. Yet our flesh, my flesh at times resists, retreats, hides, and these are the lowest times. In God's near presence, there is indeed fullness of joy. All else fades into its rightful smallness. Call me near, my Father; keep me near, I pray.

The Holy spirit inspired me with this hymn just this morning (5. 09am) while I was going about my morning chores. THANK YOU JESUS... There is this joy from the inside of me.

I am blessed by the 4th Stanza
Because I know earthly joy is fleeting as true joy comes from resting in God.

Oh yes, Lord... in the midst that all that is going on in the world, the church, and life, draw me nearer yet to You, blessed Lord.
