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.

My family sang this hymn yesterday night after the Lord gave us a word from 2 Peter 3:9. We realized how far we have been from thinking the way he thinks about the sinner... only a drawing nearer to the cross and his bleeding side can restore us back to such a thinking.
Thank you for the hymn.

"There are depth of love that I yet may know "
(Ijinle Ife n be ti nko le mo).... That type/kind of love .. that you'll look at yourself and ask.. do I deserve this love?... and that sweet answer will ring in your heart... while you were yet sinners Jesus died and pay the price with His blood... This is the love that made Him lay down His life for the whole world!!!
