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 love most of sister Fanny Crosby's songs. She did a great job. Surely she is in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ forever. I am Thine O Lord forever. Thank You for saving my soul. You are amazing, perfect and awesome! I love You Lord. Thanks for this wonderful website.

I have been feelling low all day. A lot of things happening around me have not been encouraging. I found this site and this hymn ministered to me as it always has in time past. Now I am rededicating myself to live in HIS presence come what may.

There is, like the chorus in this song, a prayer in Song of Songs, "Draw me..." How wonderful Christ can be in our lives, but our feeling is that we are still distant from Him. This distance is not because of sin, or something evil, but just the longing to pursue Him, to know Him further. May we treasure our longings for Him! "No one can come to Him, unless the Father draws him."
