STANZA 1

The force of worldliness' pulling backward

Earthly things always enticing me downwards 

Making my walk with the Holy Ghost awkward o 

Pressures of life's tryna make me go off track 

When I remember the things that I do lack

The devil's always tempting to go back o 

(go back to the world) 

The flesh will never leave me alone for one day

Rising up, fighting me, tempting each day Lord.

Without you I know that I will lose each day Lord. 

Then, I need to draw me closer Lord, draw me closer, closer to you. 

(That's my heart cry Lord)

CHORUS:

Draw me closer

Draw me closer (to cross..) 

Draw me closer to the cross 

Draw me closer Lord 

Draw me closer.... Closer to you. 2×

If you don't draw me I will lose this fight;

I will compromise 

I will fail you Lord

Please make haste and come draw me closer Lord, 

draw me closer, closer to you

Hear my cry o Lord

BRIDGE 2

With you let me fall in love

Let me hold upon you Lord

Even while I'm in this world, Lord

(even while I'm in this world Lord) 

Give me grace not to give up

Even to the mountain top Lord 

With you let me fall in love

Let me hold upon you Lord

Even while I'm in this world Lord. 

(Hear my heart cry Lord)
