Bid me closer to Thee
On bended knee courage rise and strengthen me.
Jesus You are the center of all I hope to be
My dearest and closest friend
My God’s redeeming Power
Oh how I long for Thee.
Loss in the darkness of the pressure of life’s perspective
My soul hungers and thirst for my righteous rightness
to the blessings betrothed upon me
An heir to the King’s Kingdom,
Oh how I press on my journey across the vast valleys and out stretched seas
‘Til I reach His place of rest and see my King face to face
There is a knowing in my knower that there is more to life and living
A promise of abundance flowing of land, milk and honey;
Sweetness that I desire to taste and see.
Bid me closer to Thee
On bended knee courage rise and strengthen me.
Jesus You are the center of all I hope to be
My dearest and closest friend
My God’s redeeming Power
Oh how I long for Thee.
Tears of sorrow
Tears of pain
I will shout and dance and praise
My God’s Blessed Name.
I humbly lay at Thy feet.
No other blessedness does my soul desire
My Lord, deliver me from this mine darkest hour.
My ways have failed before me.
My plans have come to naught.
Thou servant’s crying loud surrendering all and to all that I gladly die.
Bid me closer to Thee
On bended knee courage rise and strengthen me.
Jesus You are the center of all I hope to be
My dearest and closest friend
My God’s redeeming Power
Oh how I long for Thee.
