Draw near

There is an earnest cry going out amongst the nations crying out for the Lord. The people are crying out for truth and righteousness. God's people are seeking for him and his face and beginning to align themselves with the truth. They feel the drawing of the Spirit deep within them to move closer to him and closer in communion. The Lord is saying so clearly this hour Seek the Lord while he may be found, call on him while he is near. Isaiah 55:6. To seek the Lord means to lay aside everything that so easily distracts us, turning off our cell phones, the tv even the radio to hear him speak. To quiet ourselves in his presence and feel him moving around. Let go of the burdens and the sin that holds you back from truly knowing the father. The father also said "It will also come to pass that before they call, I will answer; and while they are still speaking, I will hear. Our father promised to not only listen to our drawing near to him but he promised to answer. How wonderful it is to think that we have a heavenly father that is waiting just for us to open our mouth and speak to him. He knows the very thoughts we are thinking he just wants us to trust him. To rely solely on him and no one else. There is a freedom that waits for those who will draw near to the Lord. Not just in word but in deed as well. In taking those steps into the Lord's presence there is nothing else that will ever satisfy. Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in him Psalm 34:8. No one compares to your love oh Lord, you alone are good. Your mercy endures for ever and your grace oh God is sufficient enough for me.

Reach Out And Touch The Lord

I.
If your heart is sad and lonely, there's no joy anywhere.
If there's no one left to comfort, and there's no one left to care.
Just cast your cares on Jesus and upon His arms rely,
And reach out and touch the Lord as He walks by.

II.
Though a stranger to the Master and His wonderful grace.
If you've never had the pleasure in beholding His face.
Would you lay aside earth's treasures for a home in the sky,
Then, reach out and touch the Lord as He walks by.

Chorus:
Reach out and touch the Lord as He goes by.
You will find He's not too busy to hear your heart's cry.
He's passing by this moment, your needs He'll supply,
Just reach out and touch the Lord as He walks by.

III.
All along a dusty roadside, on His way to raise the dead.
Mighty was the crowd that followed, hungry for that Living Bread.
"I must touch Him", cried a woman, "I must touch Him or I'll die."
So, she reached and touched His garment as he passed by.

Chorus:
Reach out and touch the Lord as He goes by.
You will find He's not too busy to hear your heart's cry.
He's passing by this moment, your needs He'll supply,
So, reach out and touch the Lord as He goes by.
