MOVE ME CLOSER

 

Draw me closer to Your side

In Your shadow I want to hide

 

Let me walk deep in Your footsteps

You are the vine I am the branch.

 

As I sit in front of this Christmas tree

Lead me to worship down on my knees

 

Wrap me in Your afghan of warmth

Around my shoulders Your love is sure.

 

As I sit basking in sweet memories

May I always remember You came for me

 

Draw me close to Your manger bed

But don’t let me forget how You bled.

 

In this Christmastime dear Lord

May I remember who You are

 

The One born to die for me

The One who came to set me free.

 

Move me ever closer to You Lord

Not just now, but forevermore.
