For your nearness Lord I hunger

For your nearness Lord I wait

Hold me ever closer Father

Such a love I can't escape


For your nearness I am hoping

For your nearness Lord I long

Have no need of any other

I have found where I belong

Yes, I have found where I belong


So draw me nearer Lord

Never let me go

Closer to your heart

Draw me nearer Lord

Draw me nearer Lord


In your nearness there is healing

What was broken now made whole

Restoration in it's fullness

Lasting hope for all who come


In your nearness I take shelter

Where you are is where I'm home

I have need of only one thing

To be here before your throne

To be here before you throne


So draw me nearer Lord

Never let me go

Closer to your heart

Draw me nearer Lord


So draw me nearer Lord

Never let me go

Closer to your heart

Draw me nearer Lord

Draw me nearer Lord


And keep me here, keep me here

There's nowhere else I rather be

So keep me here, keep me here

There's nowhere else I rather be

There's nowhere else I rather be


So draw me nearer Lord

Never let me go

Closer to your heart

Draw me nearer Lord

Draw me nearer Lord

Draw me nearer my Lord
