I draw near to You
You draw near to me
You're calling me on
To a higher place
As children run
To their father's voice
Give me open ears
To hear You call
That I may live by Your word
To be all I'm called to be
I call on Your name
I need You my God
That I may live for Your word
Wholly devoted to You
I call on Your name
I need You my God
I draw near to You
You'll draw near to me
Let me hear You speak
To me Lord
