Modern Worship Song: Draw Me Close To You

Author: Kelly Carpenter 

(Vocal)

(Music)

Draw me close to you
Never let me go
I lay it all down again
To hear you say that I‵m your friend

You are my desire
No one else will do
‵Cause nothing else can take your place
To feel the warmth of your embrace
Help me find the way
Bring me back to you

You‵re all I want
You‵re all I‵ve ever needed
You‵re all I want
Help me know you are near

8. Devotional: Peace Greater than the Storm

Peace Greater than the Storm

by David Wilkerson (1931-2011)

    Jesus gives us more than one reason why we need his peace. Christ said to his disciples in John 14:30, “the ruler of this world is coming.” What was the context of his statement? He had just told the twelve, “I will no longer talk much with you” (14:30).

    Jesus knew Satan was at work in that very hour. The devil had already enlisted Judas to betray him. And Christ knew that the religious hierarchy in Jerusalem was being empowered by the principalities of hell. He was also aware that a devil-inspired mob was coming shortly to take him prisoner. That’s when Jesus said to the disciples, “Satan, the wicked one, is coming. So, I won’t be talking to you much more.”

    Jesus knew he needed time with the Father to prepare for the coming conflict. He was about to be delivered into evil men’s hands, just as he had spoken. And he knew that Satan was doing all he could to shake his peace. The devil would harass and attempt to discourage him, all in an effort to break Christ’s faith in the Father—anything to get him to avoid the Cross.

    You may be in turmoil, thinking, “It’s over. I’m not going to make it.” But Jesus says “I know what you’re going through. Come and drink of my peace.”

    Right now you may be going through the hardest time you’ve ever faced. Your life may be unsettled and things may look hopeless. There seems to be no way out for you and every avenue you turn to fills you with more stress, confusion and weariness.

    It doesn’t matter what you’re going through. Your life may look like it was struck by a tornado. You may endure trials that cause others to look at you as a modern-day Job. But in the midst of your troubles, when you call on the Holy Spirit to baptize you in the peace of Christ, he will do it.

    People will point to you and say, “That person’s world has come completely apart. Yet he’s determined to trust God’s Word, live or die. How can he do it? How does he go on? He should have quit long ago. Yet he hasn’t given up. And through it all, he hasn’t compromised anything he believes. What amazing peace! It’s beyond understanding.”

(Sheet Music)

1. My Jesus, I love Thee, I know Thou art mine,

    For Thee all the follies of sin I resign;

    My gracious Redeemer, my Savior art Thou;

    If ever I loved Thee, My Jesus, ’tis now.

2. I love Thee because Thou has first loved me,

    And purchased my pardon on Calvary’s tree;

    I love Thee for wearing the thorns on Thy brow;

    If ever I loved Thee, My Jesus, ’tis now.

3. I’ll love Thee in life, I will love Thee in death,

    And praise Thee as long as Thou lendest me breath,

    And say when the death-dew lies cold on my brow;

    If ever I loved Thee, My Jesus, ’tis now.

4. In mansions of glory and endless delight,

    I’ll ever adore Thee in heaven so bright;

    I’ll sing with the glittering crown on my brow;

    If ever I loved Thee, My Jesus, ’tis now.

5. Hymn: O Love That Wilt Not Let Me Go

Hymn: O Love That Wilt Not Let Me Go

Author: George Matheson (1842-1906)

(Vocal)

(Music)

(Sheet Music)

1. O Love that wilt not let me go,

    I rest my weary soul in Thee;

    I give Thee back the life I owe,

    That in Thine ocean depths its flow

    May richer, fuller be.

2. O Light that follow'st all my way,

    I yield my flickering torch to Thee;

    My heart restores its borrowed ray,

    That in Thy sunshine’s glow its day

    May brighter, fairer be.

3. O Joy that seekest me through pain,

    I cannot close my heart to Thee;

    I trace the rainbow through the rain,

    And feel the promise is not vain

    That morn shall tearless be.

4. O Cross that liftest up my head,

    I dare not ask to fly from Thee;

    I lay in dust, life’s glory dead,

    And from the ground there blossoms red

    Life that shall endless be.
