Draw Me Near

When I awake and face the dawn
All I want is to be with you alone
In the stillness and the quiet
Your presence makes everything alright

Lord, I pray that you will draw me near
Give me courage and rid me of fear
Let my life be a beacon of light
To show others of your awesome glory and might

When I'm discouraged and feeling down
All I want is your love to surround
My God, I want to feel you close
Your awesome strength I will engross

Lord, I pray that you will draw me near
Give me strength and wipe away my tears
Let my life be an example for others
To show your awesome love and wonders

When I'm sick and full of woe
All I want is for you to know
So that you can heal my hurting soul
Embrace me and keep me in your hold

Lord, I pray that you will draw me near
Hear my heartfelt prayers sincere
Keep me close within your reach
Fill my heart with the words you teach

When I'm ready to die and leave this place
I hope that my steps on earth you can retrace
To show my life I've lived for you
That I gave you my all, through and through
