A bit closer, dear God

A bit closer, dear God

                                                     

Draw us a bit closer to you each day 
Teach us to follow your precepts faithfully 
Unveil our eyes that we may see your beauty
Filled with matchless charm and divine glory.

Let us feast upon your Words continually 
That we will be nourished with celestial bounty
May everything we do and every word we say
Will be a delight to you O God Almighty

Fill our mind with thoughts of joy and positivity 
Calm our troubled soul and chase our fears away 
In the midst of global conflict and adversity 
Give us your comforting peace and serenity 

Make us realise that things on earth are temporary 
Our treasures and posessions can vanish away 
Help us to be sober, to watch and pray 
That we may be steadfast and won’t drift away

Help us to fix our gaze upon the Calvary 
And remember your great sacrifice for humanity 
Your resurrection and ascension give us certainty
Of your promise to come again in splendor and glory
