As I draw Near

As I draw near
The throne of God
On holy ground I stand
I feel him here
Where saints have trod
I rest within his hands

O holy place 
This place of grace
Where beauty fills the soul
Where word and sacrament combine
To make my spirit whole

For thousand years
The church has stood
upon the grace of Christ
Where every tear
is understood
For Jesus paid the price

O holy place 
This place of grace
Where beauty fills the soul
Where word and sacrament combine
To make my spirit whole

Before I leave
This holy place
And go upon my way
I will believe
His generous grace
To Jesus I will pray

O holy place 
This place of grace
Where beauty fills the soul
Where word and sacrament combine
To make my spirit whole

Uplifting christian song , mournful but joyful, slower and comforting
