Draw Me Closer


Rid me of my idols, rid me of my distractions, to draw me closer to your heart. Draw me closer to your Word. I wanna know and love you more and more; so draw me closer. "Pull me a little closer, take me a little deeper, I wanna know your heart." (Closer ~ Maverick City Ft. Brandon Lake) All I want is all you are; draw me closer and closer to you, Jesus. "Not for a minute was I forsaken - the Lord is in this place." (Here Again ~ Elevation Worship) "I don't want anything else, I don't need anyone else, you are my one thing." (Give Me Jesus ~ UPPERROOM) I want to know you more, Jesus. My longing desire is to know you more and more. I want to be so infatuated with your love over and over again until my very last breath. Draw me closer, Lord, draw me closer. Draw me closer so I can know more of who you are, Lord, Jesus. Philippians 3:7-9 ~ "But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ. Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ, and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith."

Just tryna' write poetry that always glorifies God and who He is, what he has done for me, and what He can and will do for you! If God can transform my life, I know without a doubt he can transform yours too! You are NEVER too far gone, or broken for God! Come to Jesus just as you are and give your life to him and watch the change happen when you turn to Jesus and live for Him!! Being a Christian is never easy, just as life isn't easy, but our only hope is in Jesus Christ the one and only!!

"This poem is about the desire to draw my heart closer to God, and to be infatuated with God's love daily. Yes, infatuated means to have a short-lived affection for something or someone - but in this context, what I mean is that I want to fall in love with God day after day to be so captivated by his love." ~ Yvonne Boehne
