Draw Me Nearer

It's Friday! Okay, so technically it's Saturday, but I'm still(foolishly) living my Friday. And It's been a little while since you've gotten a Byplay Friday song. So, here 'tis:

"Draw Me Nearer" -by Meredith Andrews

For your nearness Lord I hunger
For your nearness Lord I wait
Hold me ever closer Father
Such a love I can't escape

For your nearness I am hoping
For your nearness Lord I long
Have no need of any other
I have found where I belong
Yes, I have found where I belong

So draw me nearer Lord
Never let me go
Closer to your heart
Draw me nearer Lord
Draw me nearer Lord

In your nearness there is healing
What was broken now made whole
Restoration in it's fullness
Lasting hope for all who come

In your nearness I take shelter
Where you are is where I'm home
I have need of only one thing
To be here before your throne
To be here before you throne

So draw me nearer Lord
Never let me go
Closer to your heart
Draw me nearer Lord
Draw me nearer Lord

And keep me here, keep me here
There's nowhere else I rather be
So keep me here, keep me here
There's nowhere else I rather be
There's nowhere else I rather be

So draw me nearer Lord
Never let me go
Closer to your heart
Draw me nearer Lord
Draw me nearer Lord
Draw me nearer my Lord

   Today I was thinking about-mostly because I was reading about- God's omnipresence. His always presentness. There I go making up my own words....

   I don't know how we seem to forget, or not think about, or whatever our stupidity should be called...That we are not always aware of God's presence. The Creator of the Universe, the Savior of the world, God, The Beginning and The End, our Breath of Life, is always with us! Because He said so in Hebrews 13:5b " I will never desert you, nor will I ever  forsake you. " The Lord goes with you. He waits for you to get to know Him, to draw near, to acknowledge His presence in your life. That's where you belong. Always. We do not have to wait for His presence, He waits for ours.
