Pull Me Close / Because He Lives

"Pull Me Close / Because He Lives" is a mashup track from Lizzie Morgan's album, Not My Will (Live). The song begins with the original composition "Pull Me Close," which has a personal and intimate tone, speaking to a desire for a closer relationship with faith. It is a song of yearning and surrender, which is a recurring theme on the album. The original lyrics were co-written by Morgan, Bryan Fowler, and Jonathan Smith. The song then transitions into a rendition of the classic hymn "Because He Lives," which shifts the mood to one of declaration and assurance. The combination of the two songs creates a narrative arc, moving from a personal plea for connection to a bold statement of faith. The inclusion of this hymn grounds the album in a historical context of worship music while infusing it with Morgan's contemporary sound and personal story.
