DON'T BE DECEIVED

DRAW NEAR        


Draw near he whispers in my ear,
He assures me that "I Am" is here,
My identity never changes, though
Proximity to my GOD does, as I'm

Taking another lap around Mount
Sinai, when my focus wanders off
Of JESUS, and into apathy, fear or
A thousand other things that draw

Me away from my Savior, when my
Bad behavior knocks me off course,
Whispering, the Master softly calls,
Wooing me to come back home, so

Heartstrings play the master's song
And I return to walk with him again,
Always forgiving, embraces me with
Open arms, heaven's love...renewed!
