“Closer Than I’ve Ever Been”

Here is the chorus to song by Mark Schultz:    Let me fall down at Your feet;  feel Presence all around me;  don’t let go;  until I am closer;  closer than I’ve ever been.  Until I find myself in all Your glory;  until I’m weak enough to seek Your strength;  until I know that I am held by mercy;  until I am closer; closer than I’ve ever been.    I love this!  He is asking the Lord to let him fall, become weak enough to seek strength, mercy, grace.  I know that I find myself going along just fine, not even realizing that I am going on my own strength.  Trick of the enemy!   Are we brave enough to ask the Lord to let us fall so that we can become closer to Him than ever before?  We do become stronger and closer as we struggle to climb to the mountain top.  I want to get so close to the Lord that when I “go across” to the other side someday, it won’t really be a change because I will have already been living a “heavenly life”.  Just the scenery will change!  I will know and feel so close to my Lord that their will be no fear of the change.  I will look in His face and see my Loved One, the One I trust.
