lyrics
“Draw Near”
Words and music by Stephen McNeill
A war rages desperately within my bones
Between powers deeply entrenched:
My truest desire for Jesus alone
And thirst for sin that won’t be quenched
Where can I take refuge, how can I be free
From this body of death and sin?
How can I resist a foe I cannot see
And fight a war I cannot win?
Draw near to the merciful Father of grace
Oh, humble yourself at his hand!
He offers his holy, forgiving embrace
In faith and repentance to stand
His mercies are new at the dawn of each day
When temptations whisper my name
The enemy’s pow’r over my soul gave way
When Christ bore my guilt and my shame
So when I confess, his grace will intervene
That I may turn from sin’s allure
My God will forgive, he will wash my hands clean,
And make my heart perfectly pure
Chorus
Oh God, may I know you in truth and in pow’r
To see you as holy and just
Oh God, give me strength to abandon my sin
And daily give Jesus my trust
