draw me close to You

I had a nice prayer session last saturday during my prayer meeting. It was the second week of Lent, and the gospel reading was about the transfiguration. Amazingly the topic for our prayer meeting that night was also about the transfiguration.

I really felt the praise and worship was really nice. I could easily open my self to the Lord and pray and spend time with the Lord. One song really spoke to me that night: draw me close to you, never let me go, I lay it all down again, to hear you say that I am Your friend.

Somehow, the Lord remind me back to the years when I started giving my life to the Lord. And the word of the song, “I lay it all down again…” really hit me. I felt the Lord invites me to lay it all down again. To surrender again. To give my life back again. It has been 10 years since then. And how I felt he asked me to lay down my life again.

I really felt the desire to draw close to the Lord again. It is never enough. There is always more. And how I thank the Lord for inviting me to draw close to Him again.

Draw me close to You
Never let me go
I lay it all down again
To hear You say that I’m Your friend

You are my desire
No one else will do
‘Cause nothing else could take Your place
To feel the warmth of Your embrace
Help me find the way
Bring me back to You

You’re all I want
You’re all I’ve ever needed
You’re all I want
Help me know You are near
