You can be as close to Me as you so desire
Lay aside that which hinders and you will acquire
When you draw near to Me, I draw near to you
Seek Me with the eyes of your heart and I’ll come into view

It is you that determines how close we will be
I am waiting to be found by those who will seek Me
It is you that determines how you share your day
When you choose to be with Me, I’ll meet you as you pray

Be careful so you don’t confuse that which comes from your own mind
Don’t think those thoughts and feelings are Mine, intertwined
Ask of Me and I will give you wisdom, peace, and grace
That is what is waiting, for all who seek My face
