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 was praying with Ephesians 4:15 and Romans 12:1-2, and this song flooded my heart. I searched for it and found that its lyrics is in tune with the above scriptures.
It is really a soul transforming hymn. A song that draws one's soul to the throne of grace.

I had just finished a noon day prayer with the women of my jurisdiction and the hymn of this song flooded my mind and heart. My father loved this song and always sung it while driving; I was compelled to look up the words and sing it today! It’s just as powerful today!

I woke up this morning of 3rd August 2025 and the Spirit of the Lord whispered this song in my heart. I approached the Lord in obedience. This must be the Lord's way of saying "Come closer to Me My son!" To God be the glory in Jesus's Name! Amen!

This song just dropped in my heart and as I started singing I felt the sense of purpose. A desire for a great revival in the church. I feel like Christ is missing his children because many have gone astray😭
How I wish we can all turn back and behold he who is on the cross and see what manner of love he has for us❤️
