James 4:8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
Do you want to be close to God? I do. It’s the best place to be in this life.
Humbly pray to Jesus and confess any sins.
As you set your heart and mind upon Him, He will draw nigh to you.
He promised.
Close To Thee

Thou my everlasting portion, — More than friend or life to me, — All along my pilgrim journey, — Savior, let me walk with Thee.
CHORUS:
Close to Thee, close to Thee, — Close to Thee, close to Thee; — All along my pilgrim journey, — Savior, let me walk with Thee.
Not for ease or worldly pleasure, — Nor for fame my prayer shall be; — Gladly will I toil and suffer, — Only let me walk with Thee. - - -
Lead me through the vale of shadows, — Bear me o’er life’s fitful sea; — Then the gate of life eternal — May I enter, Lord, with Thee. - - -
Fanny J. Crosby 1874
