Requested by Erlene, written by Fanny Crosby in 1875–Draw Me Nearer, Blessed Lord, sung by the Sanctuary Choir at the First Methodist Church, Houston.
Why do we have a hymn contest? To glorify God, to show Him that we love Him, and to do something together that reflects our Christian fellowship.
This is what we all need, a closer walk with our God.
Listening to this is like being in church. I am wondering how a hymn has received 20 views when it looks like Erlene and I are the only participants. Come on everybody, give us a hymn.
This always happens when I run a contest. I don’t know why, but people just don’t participate.
