  • An Aching Void the World Can Never Fill

    O for a closer walk with God,

    A calm and heavenly frame,

    A light to shine upon the road

    That leads me to the Lamb!

    Where is the blessedness I knew,

    When first I saw the Lord?

    Where is the soul refreshing view

    Of Jesus and His Word?

    What peaceful hours I once enjoyed!

    How sweet their memory still!

    But they have left an aching void

    The world can never fill.

     (Hymn by Thomas Cowper, “O for a Closer Walk with God.”)

    He wants to fill that void in our lives.

    If only we will let him…

    "The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth." Ps 145:18
