draw near


Draw near, come closer
let me see your face
the cry of Joseph
to his brothers before him

Intimacy, family
entering into presence
with almighty God
like Joseph, the Governor,
drawing in his brothers

So too God seeks kinship
relationship with us
offering us closeness,
love, reconciliation

God calls us to Him,
as close as our Lord Jesus
as the Spirit indwelling;
God calls us to come closer
to walk, to abide with Him
