Lyrics John Reuben

John Reuben

Draw Near

Chorus:

Death wispers words of defeat in my ear

My God I draw near, my God I draw near

God of creation here I stand

I've left babylon to find out who I am

I've traveled I've struggled I've failed in vain

My own ability will never see eternal gain

God of creation it's you whom I seek

Lord I feel strapped n tied down and my strenght is weak

Oh Lord when I cry out please hear what I speak

Bring life to my body awaken this sleep

Chorus

When all vanishes and I stand in this

place to face the truth for what it is

With no human esacpe to hide behind

just my soul n God and I find it mind blowing

Knowin that humanity and a mere mortal man like me

Can have my slate cleaned of mistakes and

the chance to put on immortality

Even though darkness has hardened us in

deception and spoken otherwise

Man I refuse to take in that nonsense, and

i refuse to buy into these lies

These lies of pain, these lies of shame,

these lies of complete disfunction

This lie of hopelessness that will make a

person feel like they're nothing

This lie that will make me feel like my

struggle is one too much to fix'n

Isn't that what darkness wants for me to

play the role of a victim

But I'm a child of light and no longer

am I bound by slavery

I say oh death were is your sting

And oh hades where's your victory?

Hear my cry oh God

Attend to my prayer

From the end of the earth I will cry to you

When my heart's overwhelmed I will cry to you

Leave it to the rock that is higher than I

For you have been a shelter for me

I will abide in your time forever

My God I draw near, my God I draw near
