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.
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.

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.
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.

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!
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.
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 Woke up this morning with this hymn on my mind and I thank the Holy Spirit for that. I pray for the grace to know Him more and I am thankful for the precious blood of Jesus. The blood of Jesus prevails 🙏.

I sang this song this morning after my medications and quiet time. It then dawn in my spirit that the only convenient place to be is nearer to him. Father let nothing replace you in my heart.

I woke up this morning with the words of this hymn . I checked up all the verses once more prayerfully .

Lord draw me nearer to you, show me more of yourself.

This is a deep hymn. I have sung it many times without realizing it. We all should desire to have a closer walk with Christ. When we sing this too easily, we may not really know the cross or Christ’s love that draws us nearer to Him. To be willing to go to the cross, which is hard, we must first see His dying love which draws us nearer to His side. This results in our continued consecration to Him. Lord draw me nearer, nearer what ever the cost! To be near to our wonderful savior is priceless.
