Drawing Near

So lately I've really been feeling the need to get closer with God. Over the past 2 months its really been high on the to do list. In one of those close moments with God I wrote this song.

Closer
Jon Long


I wanna get closer to you,

I wanna flyer higher to you,

I wanna, climb right into your arms.


I wanna be closer with you,

I wanna know more about you,

I wanna be right by your side.

(Chorus)


Jesus, the one from above, get me closer to you….

Jesus, my one true love, I wanna be closer to you…. (x2)


When I’m, closer to you I feel like new

When I’m closer to you I’m alive.

When I’m near you, oh how I love you,

Without you I can’t survive

(Bridge)


I love you, I need you, I want more of you…

I pray for more of you fill up some more…


So anyways this has been a thing on my heart for such a long time and I thought I'd share it with you...
