My God, Thank You For Drawing Me Near You
July 13 Scripture Meditations Based on Song of Solomon 1-8
Key Verse – Song of Solomon 1:4 Draw me, we will run after thee …
MY GOD, THANK YOU FOR DRAWING ME NEAR YOU
Thank You for drawing me near You and to Your compassion
With Your love’s direction along Your Word’s instruction
From hatred’s bitter reaction against apathy’s cold intrusion
Toward persevering devotion to prioritize Your great commission.
Thank You for drawing me near You and to Your kindness
With Your care’s cheerfulness along Your comfort’s gentleness
From rudeness’ conceited indifference against unconcern’s critical madness
Toward transforming goodness to show Your marvelous graciousness.
Thank You for drawing me near You and to Your commitment
With Your call’s appointment along Your charges’ reinforcement
From idleness’ empty achievement against slothfulness’ vain accomplishment
Toward strengthening diligence to work through Your empowerment.
Thank You for drawing me near You and to Your mercy
With Your help’s restoration along Your pardon’s clemency
From negligence’s perilous result against offenses’ grievous deficiency
Toward assisting dependence to trust Your sufficiency.
Thank You for drawing me near You and to Your light
With Your Scriptures’ guidance along Your truth’s might
From darkness’ fearful night against hell’s torturous sight
Toward illumining wisdom to shine with Your delight.
Thank You for drawing me near You and to Your presence
With Your salvation’s assurance along Your forgiveness’ license
From condemnation’s fatal incense against wickedness’ destructive sense
Toward rejuvenating revival to serve through Your divine iridescence.
