God is nearer than we think.
Transcendent God, come very near to me:
Across Christ’s costly bridge, come with all speed.
Your eye of grace can pityingly see
My heart is open wide through deepest need.
My soul. A bulwark ‘gainst my constant foe:
A screen ensuring I will not be found
By those who would my spirit overthrow.
In you alone can I be satisfied –
Your strong right hand has marked me as your own
And, since for all my needs you will provide,
Invade my life and make my soul your throne.
Just come, Lord, come in love and power today.
O let me feel you near me as I pray.
Amen.
With every blessing
Commissioner Harry Read
