'Draw Me Close to You' by Kelly Carpenter -An Inspiration

Draw Me Close To You
Dimension 36" x 24"


Draw me close to you, never let me go.
I lay it all down again, to hear you say that I’m your friend.
You are my desire, no one else will do.
No one else can take your place, to feel the warmth of your embrace.
Help me find the way, bring me back to you.
You’re all I want. You’re all I’ve ever needed.
You’re all I want. Help me know you are near.

It's a beautiful song written by Kelly Carpenter. The song intensely expresses the longing for God's nearness and confirms that "there is nothing on earth I desire besides you." This song has deeply affected me and truly expressed the reality of my heart. I remember singing "You're all I want, You're all I ever needed," with deep faith and conviction. I was moved to tears at the point of realisation that how futile it is to seek joy in anything other than God Himself.

This painting is an expression of prayer to God to draw me close to Him and never let me go. Knowing fully well that no one else can take your place , to feel the warmth of your embrace. Help me find the way, bring me back to you.
