"Close" by Nahash Mwathi

Kenya

An original song by artist Nahash Mwathi. Loving Tone Shot It.

Like a candle to the sun

Your light is brighter than mine

Like a servant and the master

My wealth can’t compare to Yours

Like the question and the answer

Your wisdom tells it all

Close to You is where I’d rather be

Close to You is where I’d rather be

Your embrace is what I need

My life renewed to be

And my needs for sure You shall meet

Your time will be complete

Jesus, wrap me in Your arms

The same ones bruised for me

Close to You is where I’d rather be

Close to You is where I’d rather be

Where all my flaws are known

And Your grace still shown to me

Imperfections brought before You

So I can grow…

Close to You is where I see

My need for life

That only You can give

Close to You is where I find

My comfort knowing I am loved

X2

Close to You I am loved

I know I am loved

    In Romania, a kindergarten teacher used her students’ excitement about chocolate eggs and the Easter bunny to introduce them to the true story of Jesus’ death and resurrection. When she invited all 26 families to church, many came—and David and his mother now attend regularly, learning together about the Savior who rose from the tomb.

    The Davis’ Indians - Part 2

    After Ovid Elbert Davis died of blackwater fever in 1911 at Mt. Roraima, the Indigenous believers he had taught in British Guiana continued meeting every Sabbath at his grave, singing the hymn he taught them and pleading for another teacher. Fourteen years later, missionaries finally returned, finding more than 130 people still faithful to the commitment Davis recorded before his death. Today, his legacy lives on through the Davis Memorial Hospital in Georgetown and the thriving Adventist communities that grew from his early work.
