Draw Me Closer To You, Lord

Paul Lisney

This is a song about life and faith. This was initially the demo version of the song but I decided to us use o nthe final CD.

Draw Me Closer To You,
Lord

It’s been a hard year
We’ve had a rough time
Draw us closer to You Lord
It could be the end
Or could be a new start
Draw us closer to You Lord

The night has fallen down (down on me)
No stars to light the darkened sky
I cry to you my Lord (my tears fall like rain)
I fear that hope will leave my heart

Oh Where is my faith?
Why can’t I trust?
Draw me closer to You Lord
Is my house built on sand?
Am I gone with the storm?
Draw me closer to You Lord

I bring You all my pain (and lay it down)
To set before your wounded feet
Why do I still hold on? (I can’t let go)
Do I fear to trust in You?

Am I letting You down?
I don’t understand
Draw me closer to You Lord
I think that I’m more
Than I truly am
Oh forgive me my Lord

I won’t give in to fear (I will pray)
I’ll strive to trust You more each day
My feelings I won’t heed (I won’t heed)
For they will pass and You will stay

You’re depending on me
To love them as You
Draw me closer to You Lord
For the me that they see
Must remind them of You
Draw us closer to You Lord
Closer, closer, closer to You Lord
Closer, closer, closer to You Lord
