Greater than my need
For the sleep that evades me
Greater than my desire
To live in the Philippines
Greater than my hunger
In need of fulfilling
O Lord, draw me closer to You
Greater than my need
For sexual spark and consumation
Greater than my desire
For inspiration and imagination
Greater than my fear
Of misjudged or marred reputation
O Lord, draw me closer to You
Greater than my need
For work and play
Greater than my desire
For a better way
Greater than my hope
For a perfect day
O Lord, draw me closer to You
Greater than my need
To skill from the unlearned
Greater than my hope
For goals, undeterred
Greater than my want
For schedules, undisturbed
O Lord, draw me closer to You
Greater than my need
For space and rest
Greater than my want
For solution and success
Greater than my fear
To fail these tests
O Lord, draw me closer to You
Greater than my need
For consistent health
Greater than my desire
For surplus wealth
Greater than my want
For happiness to be felt
O Lord, draw me closer to You
Greater than my need
For friends to meet
Greater than my desire
For the like-minded and neat
Greater than my want
To choose who I meet
O Lord, draw me closer to You
Greater than my need
To avoid all life's reefs
Greater than the unknown
That is all anxiety sees
Greater than my hope
For a timely relief
O Lord, draw me closer to You
Greater than my need
To find what is lost
Greater than my fear
In covering the cost
Greater than these waves
That to and fro 'am tossed
O God, I draw closer to You
Greater than my ability
Or lack, thereof
Greater than one's plenty
And mine, not enough
Greater than any
Of all I love
Is You, Father
Draw me closer to You
