Draw Us Near

We are yours Oh Lord,

We have heard your voice

We are yours and so

We come to rejoice

In your shepherd's call

As your flock we fall

On our knees as raise our voice.

Draw us near, draw us near

To your wounded side

Draw us near, draw us near,

'Neath the crossÝ and your wings we will hide

Draw us near to the cross where you died.

You raise us up to new life whenÝ we hear

The voice of the great shepherd drives away fear.

A kingdom, priests gathered at your throne,

You are the rock

And we are your flock

We belong to you alone!

Draw us near, draw us near

To your wounded side

Draw us near, draw us near,

'Neath the crossÝ and your wings we will hide

Draw us near to the cross where you died.
