I think the desire of our hearts should be that of Fanny Crosby in that familiar 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."
