Closer
Like music flowing from the Maestro’s soul,
Spirits form the beat, each a part, each whole.
Creating rhythms, joyful psalms, never once by force,
Masterpieces, springs of Eden, Excellent is the source.
The whole duty of man, according to His will.
Fear God; keep His commandments, vanity you must forsake,
In order to move closer — by deed, by faith, by grace.
Through the womb comes a blessing: A child is born, Behold!
Merciful, Lamb of God and Shepherd of the fold.
Through the tomb comes victory
(whoso readeth, let him understand),
Of water and of the Spirit, you must be born again.
Heart, soul and mind will, by the Word, be lighted,
Through the valley of the shadow and once more united,
By Love’s sacrifice, the greatest gift of all to others.
Yes, Jesus is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
No one knows the day or hour Christ will appear,
With archangel and trumpet to draw His children near.
In order to save your life, for His sake, you must lose it.
Your calling is to be closer.
