Lord, Draw Me Close to You

Lord, draw me close to you
To know You more, I pray,
That I might see You as You are
And walk with You today.

Please show me what You love
So I can love it, too,
And help me turn from things You hate
So I can be like You.

Reveal Your thoughts to me
As written in Your Word
That I might learn to think like You
And gain Your great reward.

Transform my heart to want
The things that You desire,
And fill me with Your Spirit’s light –
A never-fading fire.

Fix heaven in my sights
So all I do and say
May lay up treasure safe above
Where nothing fades away.

Lord, draw me close to You
So this will be my aim
That Jesus may be magnified
And I will praise Your Name.
