Draw me near, nearer, blessed Lord

Daily Christian Quote

When we sing, ‘draw me near, nearer, blessed Lord,’ we are not thinking of the nearness of place, but of the nearness of relationship. It is for increasing degrees of awareness that we pray, for a more perfect consciousness of the divine Presence. We need never shout across the spaces to an absent God. He is nearer than our own soul, closer than our most secret thoughts. - A.W. Tozer

Why do you sing to God? Do you sing praises to God to be nearer to Him? Are you seeking a closer relationship with God? He is right here. Just a whisper to God would beckon Him and He'll respond immediately. Call on God today. Even just a whisper!

  1. Absolutely beautiful. Back in my home church as a child we sang this song. I like the version on this video also.

    Draw me nearer nearer blessed Lord indeed. Thank You Lord for drawing us nearer to You each and every day. We love You.
