It's nothing personal. After all, today is our special day. It's our day of worship!
As I've said in the past, worshipping through music is wonderful.
So, today I will share with you some music. It's not a hymn, but to me, it is something that touched my heart.
The music is by Michael W. Smith and is entitled, Draw Me Close. Here is a link for you to listen to and/or sing along: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GA-rlIHFnh4&feature=youtu.be. The lyrics are below.
Draw Me Close
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 can take Your place
To feel the warmth of Your embrace
Help me find the way
Lord, bring me back to You
You're all I want
You're all I ever needed
You're all I want
Help me know You are near
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 can take Your place
To feel the warmth of Your embrace
Help me find the way
Lord, bring me back to You
You're all I want
You're all I ever needed
You're all I want
Help me know You are near
You're all I ever needed
You're all I want
Help me know You are near
You're all I want
You're all I ever needed
You're all I want
Help me know You are near
You're all I ever needed
You're all I want
Help me know You are near
Help me know You are near
Help me know You are near
Help me know You are near
Help me know You are near
Help me know You are near
I'm so thankful that a Facebook (FB) friend shared this music with me. Thank you, dear friend!
There's something I feel I need to say.
After I heard only the beginning of the music, I checked out the lyrics. Even though the lyrics I saw on the internet never showed words like You, or Your, but just showed it as... you, or your... I felt that the music drew me to Him. And, thought I would have to let you know that.
However, when listening to the entire song, I was happy to hear that it was truly meant to rely upon our Lord! For... Lord, was mentioned, even though the lyrics didn't say that. So, I adjusted the lyrics here on LwL.
Hallelujah! Praise God!
Thinking about how we are His friend, made me think of John 15:15, "Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you."
Amen! Jesus doesn't call us servants, just as we just read He said, for servants knoweth not what his Lord doesth: but I have called you... friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father, I have made known unto you.
Again, all I can say is... hallelujah!
He has called us... friends!
Does this mean He means it to everyone in the world? No.
What was said, referred only to those of us who have gained salvation by trusting in/believing upon our Lord, Jesus Christ... and have repented of sin in our lives, and have created a relationship with Him.
I'm His friend.
Are you?
If you're not yet, please... come to Christ, today... and gain salvation.
Tomorrow, may be too late.
Until next time...
