I heard this song on Sunday for the first time.
It fits everything about everything right now.
Jesus Draw Me Ever Nearer – lyrics by Margaret Becker
Jesus draw me ever nearer
As I labour through the storm.
You have called me to this passage,
and I’ll follow, though I’m worn.
May this journey bring a blessing,
May I rise on wings of faith;
And at the end of my heart’s testing,
With Your likeness let me wake.
Jesus guide me through the tempest;
Keep my spirit staid and sure.
When the midnight meets the morning,
Let me love You even more.
Let the treasures of the trial
Form within me as I go –
And at the end of this long passage,
Let me leave them at Your throne.

You are such a rare gem. Joshua 1:9
You are being covered in prayer daily.

Thank you.

Have been listening to this on YouTube this morning since I saw your post.
“To wake with His likeness”- no higher achievement/ no greater blessing.
Thank you. Thank you for sharing.

Oh – that line. I know.
And even the idea of both the trial having treasures and then laying even those treasures at His feet.

I love this hymn. It’s comforting to know that when the storms of life come (and they will come) we have the promise that He will draw us close and give us His strength to carry on.
Thank you for sharing this!
