Michael W. Smith - Draw Me Close Lyrics

Draw Me Close is a concise prayer for nearness, belonging, and renewed surrender. The opening asks God not to let go, then places every competing claim down again in order to hear the assurance of friendship. Desire is focused on God alone; no substitute can occupy His place or provide the comfort associated with His embrace. The plea to be brought back acknowledges dependence even in the act of seeking.

The chorus reduces that prayer to a direct confession that God is all the singer wants and needs. Its final request is not for an explanation or a material gift, but for awareness of divine presence. That emphasis closely reflects biblical prayers that draw near to God and seek His face. It also echoes the invitation to place every burden aside and return to fellowship. Through simple repetition, the song turns longing into worship and presents closeness with God as the central need of the surrendered heart.
