This song speaks to me so deeply... the lyrics stir my heart and the melody soothes my soul.
Jesus Draw Me
Jesus, draw me ever nearer
As I labor through the storm
You have called me to this passage
And I'll follow though I'm worn
Chorus:
May this journey bring a blessing
May I rise on wings of faith
At the end of my heart's testing
With Your likeness let me wake
Jesus, guide me through the tempest
Keep my spirit staid and sure
When the midnight meets the morning
Let me love You even more
(Chorus)
Let the treasures of the trial
Form within me as I go
And at the end of this long passage
As I labor through the storm
You have called me to this passage
And I'll follow though I'm worn
Chorus:
May this journey bring a blessing
May I rise on wings of faith
At the end of my heart's testing
With Your likeness let me wake
Jesus, guide me through the tempest
Keep my spirit staid and sure
When the midnight meets the morning
Let me love You even more
(Chorus)
Let the treasures of the trial
Form within me as I go
And at the end of this long passage
Let me leave them at Your throne
My favourite line: At the end of my heart's testing / With Your likeness let me wake. The beauty of God captivates my spirit... and the longing to have his loveliness in me makes me a true captive to hope.
P.s isn't the poem thrilling, too?!
