Pull me closer, Jesus
While the world closes in;
Protect me from the carnality
Destroying the souls of men.
Hold me tighter, Jesus
I need You more today;
The recklessness around
Brings great dismay.
Pull me tighter, Jesus
The reins are in Your hands;
I’m tethered to You forever
Not to the ways of man!
Hold me closer, Jesus
Your love gives me strength;
Your love surpasses knowledge,
Is infinite in its reach.
Pull me closer, Jesus
Wrap me in Your embrace;
Keep my feet from simple snares
As I seek Your face.
Hold me tighter, Jesus
There is no other way;
To be a victorious Christian
I must learn to stay.
