Jesus, draw me closer

Lord Jesus, draw me ever closer -
Hide me in Your secret place.
I so need to feel Your presence;
Your tender love and warm embrace.

Lord Jesus, draw me ever closer -
Shelter me, I trust You will.
When the world grows darker, colder;
Then, Jesus, draw me closer still.

Lord Jesus, hold me tight forever;
Let me nevermore depart.
Draw me closer, so much closer -
Closer, Jesus, to Your loving heart.

Amen
