Closer Than a Friend: Embracing Divine Warmth and Joy
Lyrics
It is my desire to abide in you
Expressing a strong wish to remain in a close connection with God
The warmth of your heart, God, is my refuge
Acknowledging that the warmth of God's heart serves as a place of safety and comfort
It is my desire to abide in you
Reiterating the desire to abide and remain in God
The warmth of your heart, God, is my refuge
Emphasizing that God's heart provides a secure refuge
I love you Jesus, you're so very good
Expressing love for Jesus and recognizing His goodness
Oh, nothing before you
Acknowledging that nothing comes before Jesus in importance
Nothing will I put
Committing to prioritize nothing above Jesus
You fashioned my heart, put your spirit within
Acknowledging that God shaped the speaker's heart and placed His spirit within
Now you walk beside me, closer than a friend
Acknowledging God's constant companionship, being closer than a friend
It is my joy, Lord, to trust in you
Expressing joy in trusting the Lord
The warmth of your heart, God, is my refuge
Reiterating that the warmth of God's heart is a place of refuge
It is my joy, Lord, to trust in you
Reaffirming the joy derived from trusting in the Lord
The warmth of your heart, God, is my refuge
Highlighting God's heart as a secure refuge
I love you Jesus, you're so very good
Expressing love for Jesus and acknowledging His goodness
Oh, nothing before you
Stating that nothing holds greater importance than Jesus
Nothing will I put
Committing to place nothing above Jesus in priority
You fashioned my heart, put your spirit within
Recognizing God's role in shaping the heart and placing His spirit within
Now you walk beside me, closer than a friend
Acknowledging the continuous companionship of God, closer than a friend
You lead me by still waters
Describing God's guidance by peaceful and calm waters
