I am continually hungry,

For Your word,

And thirsting for Your presence.

Still I yearn for a closer,

Walk with You!

Burdens and the cares,

Of this life seem even,

More unbearable each day!

Yet I release them at the foot,

Of the cross!

Challenges and disappointments,

Are many and with the enemy,

In hot pursuit I run into Your,

Open Arms of Love!

Amazingly the need for a closer,

Walk is intensifying!

Just a closer walk to be near to You,

To feel the rain of Your presence,

And to bask in Your Love!

Yes a closer walk is what,

I truly desire! Please grant,

This request to me O Lord!
