Come Near to God

by Ralph I. Tilley 

(Based on Hebrews 10:19-22)

Come near to God.
    How can that be?
    I've sinned,
    the Law I've broken,
    there's no hope for me.

Come near to God.
    The way is now open,
    Jesus has died,
    the Lord crucified,
    the veil has been torn.

Come near to God.
    With a heart sincere,
    faith fully assured
    and heart made clean,
    the conscience now clear.

Come near to God.
    Your Priest intercedes,
    your Father's arms open,
    your need brings you near,
    the Spirit with you pleads.
