Closeness of Christ

"They draw nigh that follow after mischief: they are far from Thy law. Thou art near, O Lord; and all Thy commandments are truth" (Psalm 119:150,151). "There is a Friend that sticketh closer than a brother" (Proverbs 18:24).

Those who follow lies
Are drawing ever near;
Wise in their own eyes,
They have no godly fear.

But Christ is closer still
Than that approaching host
Of those who steal and kill,
And in destruction boast.

And so I will depend
On Christ, and not another;
For Christ, my dearest Friend,
Sticks closer than a brother.
