Nearer to the cross

Draw me nearer, nearer blessed Lord
To the cross where Thou has died
Draw me nearer, nearer blessed Lord
To Thy precious bleeding side.

If I asked you if you wanted to be closer to God, would your hand be raised? Mine would be. I would guess that all of ours would be. We all want to be closer to God. But too often I fail to realize that the pain and struggles and situations that come across my daily path are the Lord's way of answering that prayer/song.
