Draw Me Forever Closer Unto You

In the darkness of my tempest journey,
O Lord draw me closer unto You,

Let my trouble time roll away with joy
and Your blessing overshadow my days of sadness.

If the wicked seek my life for a ransom,
O Lord, let not their thought derail my focus on You,

Even in their pride of wickedness,
let me not become a victim in their wick joy of celebration.

When they make their boast of unimaginable victory
in their deceit of drunken imagination,

O Lord, let not my name become their joy
in defeated celebration of their unforgivable victory.   

Even if the wicked shall swear with their blood,
and make a boast with their life to erase my lineage,

You are my God and Your ways are not that of man,
Your thought for me is to have dominion over them.

Even if they gathered in their wicked thoughts
and make a table before me, they shall forever be ashamed,

Victory is my heritage, for the anchor of my hope
have given me victory over them that seek after my life.

Even if the wick rejoice in their heart
and vow to make life unbearable for those who called upon Your name,

O Lord, let their song of joy become a bitter test in their month
and let them find no rest till they repent of their evil ways.

Lord I know I may not be perfect, but in Your grace,
I found the perfection to call upon Your Holy name,

Forsake me not O Lord, even in my moment of distrust,
when I felt the pleasure of vanity is a blessing for eternity.

Lord uphold me and let Your awesome power guide me
away from every evil manipulation of the wicked,

Make me O Lord never to become a victim of circumstances
for my enemies to celebrate their victory.   

My Father in Heaven, let those who seek my blood for destruction,
become like the dust of the earth,

O Lord, give me the grace to stand strong
and continuously sing a song of victory to You who is my deliverer.  

Even in my secret tears, let no words within me
found any reason to regret in calling Your Holy name,

I pray within my heart to be Yours
and Yours all alone no matter the thorns of life that comes my way.

O Lord, make me a vessel of honour and a reference point
for my enemies to see just as You made Job Your servant,

Let my life become a virtue of humility in Your presence
and my walk with You, a sweet smelling savor.  

Humble me with the beauty of Your Holiness
and make my life an adoration of service to Your Holy name,

Arise for the sake of Your Holy name,
and lift me up that all who see shall glorify Your name in Heaven.

When the wicked shall seek for my condemnation before Your throne,
O Lord let their request be made fruitless,

Guide me away from their wicked thoughts
and deliver my soul away from their stronghold of wickedness.

You are the Father to the fatherless,
the One who protects when all others fails, a sure rock of ages,

In You I put my trust, in You I make my boast,
for there is none like You and none shall ever be like You

In You I commit myself, in You I shall ever draw closer unto,
for Your love is the love that supersede all other love,

Your hand is Mighty to protect, Your love is mighty to deliver,
Your grace is sufficient unto all who called upon You.

Draw me forever closer unto You, O Lord,
make me a vessel of honour unto my generation,

O Lord, let Your oil of gladness follow me wherever I go
that men will see and glorify Your Holy name.

In the land of the living I will sing of Your name,
I will tell of Your goodness that have given me all that I want,

You are my heart desire, You are the joy of my living,
my soul will forever worship You, the King who reigns forever.

Closer unto You I will forever sing,
hosanna to Your Holy name I will forever shout, You are the awesome God,

Glory to Your name, the Mighty King who deliver the oppress
and set them high above all principalities.
