Draw Me Near, Jesus
[Verse 1]
I’ve wandered down some dusty roads,
Chased dreams that lost their shine,
But through the pain and through the load,
Your mercy pulled me back in time.
When my heart was cold and weary,
And my soul had lost its cheer,
I heard You whisper through the silence,
“My child, I’m always here.”

[Chorus]
Draw me near, Jesus, closer than before,
Hold my hand through the valley, till I reach Your shore.
Let Your love be the fire that drives out every fear,
Oh my Savior, my Redeemer, draw me near.

[Verse 2]
I tried to stand on my own strength,
But I fell down to my knees,
Now I see Your grace is greater
Than the wildest storm or sea.
In the stillness of the morning,
Your presence calms my soul,
Every breath I take reminds me,
You’re the one who makes me whole.

[Chorus]
Draw me near, Jesus, closer than before,
Hold my hand through the valley, till I reach Your shore.
Let Your love be the fire that drives out every fear,
Oh my Savior, my Redeemer, draw me near.

[Bridge]
When the shadows start to fall,
And the night feels long and cold,
I’ll rest upon Your promise, Lord,
That You’ll never let me go.

[Final Chorus]
Draw me near, Jesus, closer than before,
Take my heart and my life—I’m Yours forevermore.
Let Your Spirit be the song that my soul will always hear,
Till I see You face to face, Lord, draw me near.

[Tag]
Yes, till I see You face to face…
Lord, draw me near.
