No Distant Lord Have I

Music by Karen Y. Davis, words by Maltbie D. Babcock


No distant Lord have I,
Loving afar to be;
Made flesh for me, He cannot rest
Until He rests in me.

I envy not the twelve;
Nearer to me is He.
The life He once lived here on earth,
He lives again in me.

Ascended now to God,
My witness there to be,
His witness here am I because
His Spirit lives in me.

O glorious Son of God,
Incarnate Deity,
With You I shall forevver be
Because You are in me.
