Draw near to me — and I will you;
come, take my nail-pierced hand.
I'll be your friend — if you would do
whatever I command.
The sweet smells from your altars rise —
do words and deeds outweigh?
Obedience or sacrifice?
'Tis better to obey.
When troubles in your life abound,
and blows your world apart,
come, seek me out — I WILL be found
when searching with your heart.
Just as my Father's loved me so,
I've also shown you love;
remain in me and always know
my love's more than enough.
