When Its Petals Draw Near
A missile’s disguise is a flower
magnetic, a whiff of its power
Yet when its petals draw near
a new odor appears

I Draw Near To God
When I groan in my sin-inflicted pain
Languishing in misery brought by disobedience-stain
Sorrowing midst fleshly triumph so void and vain…
My God offers to me His grace I’m unworthy to gain.
I draw* near to Him, placing my life into His forgiveness-domain!
When I cry for divine aid and support
Excruciating from my downfall’s discomfort
Wailing due to my worldliness and

The Days Draw Near
Shades of black
A reminder of early days
Days when the stars
Were considered a stone's throw away
Days when Mother's call echoed
Through the walls at cockcrow
Days when father's fierce voice
Brought fear to hearts
Days when the sight of rain
Was an invitation for play
Days when life was empty
Of any sort of

Draw Near
O Lord, our God.
Why have You forgotten us?
Be it our name, be it our fame,
be it our works and deeds,
none of those impress You,
but for our hearts stripped bare.
Naked we stand infront of You,
surrendering ourselves,
declaring our sins and failures to You,
pleading for Your grace, Your love, Your kindness.
Souls broken, tormented.
That's when You

Draw Near To God He'Ll Draw Near To You
You will find God when you seek
him with all of your heart.
Getting on your knees in prayer
is a good place to start!
Remember... A double-minded man is
unstable in his ways.
He has no true direction in
life when he prays.
Draw near to God and he'll
draw near to you.
His word will be your guide

Does Destiny Draw Near
Destiny draws near
Upon her voice I hear
Angelic choirs
Singing songs
Of a true God
The clock ticks
My heart beats
Upon a cloud
My life does rest
Is there hope
For her voice
To echo in my ears
Does destiny draw near
Is that a robin’s voice
That I hear
Is winter’s wrath
About to
