Lyrics
Draw near to me for I have drawn near to You
Pull on the strings of my heart for I long to respond to You
All my love is for You, all my love is Yours
I have made a place for You here, So come on, come on
All things are possible here, So come on, come on

Meaning & Inspiration
“Draw Near” expresses worship as a response to God’s prior approach. Its opening line places divine initiative first: God has drawn near, and the worshiper longs to answer with an undivided heart. The image of heartstrings being pulled conveys spiritual attentiveness, while the repeated offering of love gives the brief lyric the character of a simple, concentrated prayer.
The invitation to come into a prepared place develops the song’s theme of welcome and expectancy. Rather than treating God’s presence as distant, the words describe a setting in which communion with Him is desired and possibility is viewed through faith. James 4:8 is the clearest biblical echo because it joins drawing near to God with His drawing near in return. The declaration that all things are possible also recalls Jesus’ teaching in Mark 10:27, where what is impossible with people is possible with God. The song therefore holds together response, affection, hospitality, and confidence in God’s ability.
