Draw Me Nearer

1. I am thine, O Lord, I have heard thy voice,
and it told thy love to me;
but I long to rise in the arms of faith
and be closer drawn to thee.

Refrain
Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
to the cross where thou hast died.
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
to thy precious, bleeding side.

2. Consecrate me now to thy service, Lord,
by the power of grace divine;
let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,
and my will be lost in thine.

3. O the pure delight of a single hour
that before thy throne I spend,
when I kneel in prayer, and with thee, my God,
I commune as friend with friend!

Be Not Afraid - Seminole String Band

It was the fourth watch of the night
Out on the sea with no land in sight
And the storm came and they were afraid

It's always roughest before the calm
It's always darkest before the dawn
But the sun will come, so don't be afraid

As we look around today
Through our storm we still hear Him say
that "It is I, so be not afraid"

The Lord is with you in all your ways
Don't give up hope and don't be dismayed
'Cause you're not alone, so be not afraid

Though the storm may rage around us
Help us Lord to hear you say
"Be of good cheer, for it is I, be not afraid"

Just like the ship out upon the sea
It's the same now for you and me
The storms will come, but be not afraid

He calls us out into this lonely place
He sends a storm but always sends the grace
to get through the storm, so be not afraid

Though the storm may rage around us
Help us Lord to hear you say
"Be of good cheer, for it is I, be not afraid"

And though the storm may rage around us
Help us Lord to hear you say
"Be of good cheer, for it is I, be not afraid"
