Heavenly Father, I stand before You with a broken spirit on bended knees
And Lord, I'm tired of doing things my way and I surrender my all to Thee
(Ooh)
[Chorus:]
Heavenly Father this is my prayer,
Draw me nearer
I feel Your spirit
I know You are there
Draw me nearer
Heavenly Father
Guide me on this road of life with your sweet grace
Light my pathway every single day as I try to seek Your face
(Ooh)
Heavenly Father this is my prayer,
Draw me nearer
I feel Your spirit
I know You are there
Draw me nearer
[Chorus x3]
