Fervent Friday

Today's song is a classic old hymn that we sing frequently at our church. But Caedmon's Call recorded this song in a way that sounds more upbeat and yet full of longing....it's one of my favorites. Enjoy! :)

I am Thine, oh Lord,

I have heard Your voice

And it told Your love to me.

But I long to rise in the arms of faith

And be closer drawn to Thee.

Draw me nearer,

To the cross where Thou hast died.

Draw me nearer,

To Your precious bleeding side.

Draw me nearer...

There are great depths of love that I cannot know

'Till I cross the narrow sea.

There are heights of joy that I may not reach

Til I rest in peace with Thee.

Draw me nearer,

To the cross where Thou hast died.

Draw me nearer,

To Your precious bleeding side.

Draw me nearer...

You draw me with Your mercy,

You draw me with Your love,

You draw me with forgiveness by Your blood.

You draw me with compassion,

You draw me as a bride,

You draw me closer to Your precious side.

Consecrate me now to Your service, Lord,

By the Power of grace divine.

Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope

And my will be lost in Thine.

Draw me nearer,

To the cross where Thou hast died.

Draw me nearer,

To Your precious bleeding side.

Draw me nearer...
