Your face is beautiful
And Your eyes are like the stars
Your gentle hands have healing
There inside the scars
Your loving arms they draw me near
And Your smile it brings me peace
Draw me closer oh, my Lord
Draw me closer, Lord, to Thee
And captivate us, Lord Jesus, set our eyes on You
Devastate us with Your presence falling down
And rushing River draw us nearer
Holy Fountain, consume us with You
Captivate us, Lord Jesus, with You
Your voice is powerful
And Your words are radiant bright
In Your breath and shadow
I will come close and abide
You whisper love and life divine
And Your fellowship is free
Draw us closer, oh my Lord
Draw me closer, Lord, to Thee
And let ev’rything be lost in the shadows
Of the light of Your face
And let ev’ry chain be broken from me
As I’m bound in Your grace
For Your yoke is easy, Your burden is light
You’re full of wisdom pow’r and might
And ev’ry eye will see You
Captivate us, Lord Jesus, with You
Captivate us

You have captivated my heart, my sister, my bride;
You have captivated my heart with one glance of Your eyes,
with one jewel of your necklace.
Song of Solomon 4:9
Can you think of anything more awesome than to be captivated by Jesus? I looked up the definition of the word captivate and this is what it said:
“…to attract and hold the attention of, as by beauty or excellence; enchant“
Now imagine that your whole life is centered around Jesus and you are captivated by Him. The Son of God really is completely in love with you. So, as you listen to this beautiful song today, I hope that you will close your eyes and just sing this as a prayer to Him. He is so worthy of such a praise song from you…
Tell Him that His face is beautiful; just picture His eyes focused on you, just you.
Then look at His hands. See the scars? And those nails that were driven into His hands and they drove out the sins of us, His daughters and sons. And in those scars, there is so much healing. Remember the woman that just touched His garment? Oh the power that He holds. Lay all your afflictions down at His feet and allow Him to begin to heal you.
Now let His arms fold you in. Feel His embrace and allow Him to hold you long…it’s okay , y’know. He wants to love on His children and that includes you.
And while you’re in His presence, look up at Him. See the smile on His face. See how He looks at you with adoration and joy. It is time to let all the cares of this world just crumble and vanish in His presence.
{Oh Jesus, please draw us closer to You. Let all the other things of this world pale in comparison and keep us from putting anything before You, oh Lord. Let all our chains be broken in Your name. Break all addictions, oh Lord. All worry and all spirit of fear replace with peace that only You can give. You are stronger than any burden that we carry, Jesus….}
Friend, if you prayed this song today, I am so glad! Jesus wants to captivate us, and be so big in our lives that He is the first and last thing we think about. That during the day—when burdens stack up—that we are quick to give them to His capable hands. He is waiting and watching and hoping to get some time with you today…I pray He consumes you, friend!

Dear Jesus, we echo the prayer above today. Oh Jesus, we come to You today wanting to be captivated by You. We want to put all earthly things aside and just dwell in You. I pray that the things of this world will become so small in the presence of our big Savior. Thank You for Your arms that hold us and for Your smile that warms us and for Your nail-scarred hands that stretch out to pull us close. Keep us focused on You. In Your name we pray, amen.
