I feel it would be appropriate for us to sing a couple of verses from Fanny Crosby's great hymn, "Draw Me Nearer":
I am thine, O Lord, I have heard Thy voice,
And it told Thy love to me; But I long to rise in the arms of faith,
And be closer drawn to Thee.
O, the pure delight of a single hour
That before Thy throne I spend, When I kneel in prayer,
and with Thee, my God, I commune as friend with friend!
Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
To the cross where Thou hast died;
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
To Thy precious, bleeding side.
