LINER NOTES
Draw Near has been a very special project for me. The promise “Draw near to God and He will draw near to you” from James 4:8 has become a profound truth in my life. This CD is a result of seeking to “draw near” to God, to know Him more deeply as my friend, and to experience His presence in my life each day. The music expresses scripture that God has used in my journey over the past year. I hope each verse and melody speaks to you very personally, and encourages you to reflect on your life, your purpose, and your relationship with God. I pray that in the days ahead you will draw near to God and grow in your friendship with Jesus.
1. FIRST LOVE. 1 John 4:16, 19 “And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. We love because he first loved us.”
2. CALL TO ME. Jeremiah 33:3 “Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.”
3. SIMPLICITY. Ecclesiastes 7:29 “God made us plain and simple, but we have made ourselves very complicated.” 2 Corinthians 11:3 “I am afraid, lest as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds should be led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ.”
4. LIKE THE WIND. John 3:8 “The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”
5. HIGHER. Isaiah 55:8-9 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.”
6. ONE BY ONE. Isaiah 40:26 “Lift your eyes and look to the heavens: Who created all these? He who brings out the starry host one by one, and calls them each by name. Because of his great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing.”
7. STREAMS. Psalm 42:1-2 “As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.”
8. DESIRE. Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” Psalm 40:8 “I desire to do your will, O my god; your law is within my heart.”
9. SURRENDER. Proverbs 3:5-6 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.”
10. DRAW NEAR. James 4:8 “Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.”
