Closer
Am I close enough?
I try to draw near to you, Lord, and yet always fall short. I would wish ever to be nearer.
Am I close enough? I wonder and wonder.
How could I know, that all you asked was that I try -- and you would draw as near to me as I could bear?

Such a sweet gift of grace, the smallest effort rewarded tenfold.
Draw near to me, Lord!
– from the mountain
Consider:
Can I trust that you will draw near to me, if I draw near to you?
