Jesus I Want To Be Close To You

Jesus, I Want to Be Close to You! 

Dear Jesus, please hold me close to you!
May it be my desire to
really know you!

Jesus, may it be my
 passion and desire,,,
To daily lift your name up higher!

Jesus, please may it always be so...
That I will share your love wherever I go!

Jesus, I ask you to make it evident...
I want you presence in me,
to be permanent!

Jesus, much thanks
and praise is given!
You've taken away my sin!
 I’m forgiven!

Jesus, without you, all is hopeless!
My life without you
 is emptiness!

Jesus, I offer my life and freely give it!
I want to follow
your Holy Spirit!

Jesus, I give praise and adore you!
I humbly come and kneel
before you!

You’re my Lord and God!
You rule over everything!
You're my loving savior,
who can do anything!
