STANZA 1
The force of worldliness' pulling backward
Earthly things always enticing me downwards
Making my walk with the Holy Ghost awkward o
Pressures of life's tryna make me go off track
When I remember the things that I do lack
The devil's always tempting to go back o
(go back to the world)
The flesh will never leave me alone for one day
Rising up, fighting me, tempting each day Lord.
Without you I know that I will lose each day Lord.
Then, I need to draw me closer Lord, draw me closer, closer to you.
(That's my heart cry Lord)
CHORUS:
Draw me closer
Draw me closer (to cross..)
Draw me closer to the cross
Draw me closer Lord
Draw me closer.... Closer to you. 2×
BRIDGE 1
If you don't draw me I will lose this fight;
I will compromise
I will fail you Lord
I need your help cause I can't help myself
I cannot do it Lord
I need you close to me
*****
Please make haste and come draw me closer Lord,
draw me closer, closer to you
Hear my cry o Lord
CHORUS
Draw me closer
Draw me closer
Draw me closer to the cross
Draw me closer Lord
Draw me closer.... Closer to you.
BRIDGE 2
With you let me fall in love
Let me hold upon you Lord
Even while I'm in this world, Lord
(even while I'm in this world Lord)
Give me grace not to give up
Please Lord come follow me up
Even to the mountain top Lord
With you let me fall in love
Let me hold upon you Lord
Even while I'm in this world Lord.
(Hear my heart cry Lord)
CHORUS
Draw me closer
Draw me closer
Draw me closer to the cross (pull me Lord to thy bleeding side).
Draw me closer Lord
Draw me closer.... Closer to you.....
