Jesus, Draw Me Ever Never

Yesterday morning during the offering, Shannon led us in worship by singing the following song. I was moved, not only by the beautiful delivery, but by the words themselves, so I wanted to share them with you.

Jesus, Draw Me Ever Nearer By Margaret Becker

Jesus, draw me ever nearer, as I wander 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 hearts testing, with your likeness let me wake.

Jesus, guide me through the tempest, keep my spirit staid and sure. And when the midnight meets the morning, let me love you even more.

May this journey bring a blessing, may I rise on wings of faith. And at the end of my hearts testing, with your likeness let me wake.

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.

May this journey bring a blessing, may I rise on wings of faith. And at the end of my hearts testing, with your likeness let me wake.

Hello, you've never met me, but I am a Christian who rediscovered (again) the heart of the LORD this past weekend...and thus I was inspired to read some of the past prayers I'd written...and I came across this song "Jesus draw me ever nearer"...so I just had to find all of the lyrics. And I found them on your blog!--and then I saw what your family is about...and I was really impressed. O praise the Lord that there are families such as yours! :) So thank you for your posts. Take care and best wishes to you. L`dogg
