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 was reading and studying my Sunday school lesson from the book of Hosea (11), and saw the love vast love of God for His children! Despite the waywardness and disobedience, He loves us and wants us to be only as far from Him as His shadow! The fourth verse “there are depths of love that I may not know till I Rest In Peace with Thee! What an awesome love!!!!

It reminds me how much my Lord Jesus Christ loved me that he took my place, a sinful man like me and he died for me on the cross.

Oh my Jesus died for me and my sins are washed away. Glory hallelujah.

I love this hymn. It gives me zeal to move closer to God, makes me feel He is with me and more importantly, reminds me of the second coming of 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!!
