Let Us Draw Near

Representative Text

1 Let us draw near to the Savior,
Filled with the fulness of love,
Knowing by faith that the Master
Sprinkles our hearts from above.

Chorus:
Let us draw near, let us draw near,
Jesus has promised his presence so dear;
Promised us peace and freedom from fear,
Let us draw near, let us draw near.

2 Let us draw near in the spirit,
Fill us, dear Savior, we pray,
Sprinkle pure water upon us,
Washing all evil away. [Chorus]

3 Let us draw near with assurance,
As in his presence we bow,
Feeling the showers of blessing
Falling and filling us now. [Chorus]

4 Lock wait timeout exceeded, hallelujah!
Sin is all taken away,
Jesus, the Lamb that redeemed us
Cleanses our spirits today. [Chorus]
