'DRAW CLOSER JESUS'
Troubles and sorrow fill many hearts,
Around the world from Satan's darts,
But the power of God in His might,
Protects us all in the darkest nignt,
Put on the armor of God and see,
How much safer we all can be.
We wrestle not against flesh and blood,
Bathed in sunshine or covered in mud.
Our Spirits are weak but
we can be strong,
God will help us and right a wrong,
Spiritual wickedness in
high places stand.
Within the waters and on the land.
Winging their way across the sky,
Searching out victims where they lie,
Jesus has come to set us free,
Draw closer my Jesus,
draw closer to me.
