                Draw nigh, O God        (4:16)

                   by Eterman in 30.7.2000
           
                                                                         
                                                                        
0       Draw nigh, O God, almighty, 
        as my weak soul wanders, 
        knowing not the way. 
        Shadows are gaining strength around.

1       Draw nigh, Eternal Father,
        thus I plead Thee, as my
        strength is passing by.
        Night is close and all the
        light will soon be dim.

        (chorus) #
2       Draw nigh, O God, for I am
        crying unto Thee.
        Draw nigh to me, who am
        so lowly and weak beneath Thy feet.

        (solo)
5       Set is the sun, and darkness 
        comes before me bringing
        forth all fear, O Lord,
        draw nigh to me
        I pine to feel that I am thine.
        
6       Draw nigh, O God, I'm praying
        as I meekly turn my 
        eyes upon Thy word,
        and submit my mind under Thy hands.
                 
7       (chorus) #
8       (chorus) +
        Draw nigh, O God, for only 
        Thou can bring me peace.       
        Thy loving hand may hold
        my heart and then carry my soul homewards.
        
10      Draw nigh, O God, please grant me,
        understanding, that I'd better
        know your ways. (your ways)
        And thus I might help my neighbor too.
        
11      Bring me your peace, and promptings.
        Give me, meekness, for I 
        want to know no sin. (no sin)
        It is my Savior whom I trust.
        
12      Set is the sun, but still I
        see light rising as my
        soul is filled with joy.
        Now I can feel, I am Thy son.
        
13      (chorus) +
        
14      (Homewards, back to Thee)
       
        
                -Hope the lyrics are not that
                bad English language. At least I 
                find them very uplifting in context.
                        Hope you do too.
        
        
        
      If there is a person to be credited for this composition,
      other than me myself, it must be my Heavenly Father, who
      loved me so much, that he sent his beloved son unto earth
      to die for me. Now isn't that at least marvellous?

        Other inspiration credits might, however, also go to
        Kurt Bestor and the great composers such as Handel and
        Bach. Calling their music "religional" does not sound
        quite sufficient enough. It's simply something more.


                And verily, verily, I say unto you, I could not have
        written this  piece in time without help. Believe me. For 
        although finished this during sunday, I still got help. It really
        felt like divine help and guidance. And is this piece not a
        unique composition? 
                I really hope that this music and also the 
        lyrics included might be of great joy to someone out there.

        P.S. Even so, more "religional" music is surely coming up.
        This was only a beginning. And, yea, is it not, that the
        dawning always appears the greatest?
