Be Near

I needed You when sorrows came
You didn't fail me even when the shadows fell
And You wrapped Your arms around my pain
And, Lord, tonight, I come to You again for help

Without You, I cannot live
Without You, I dare not die

Be near, be near
I can make it through the darkness
Knowing You're here
Be near, be near
Come and dwell where I am weakest
Let Your presence be my strength
Move Your hand, calm my fear
Oh, be near

I have no fancy prayers to pray
But as I close my eyes, I open up my heart
You hear the words that I can't say
You prove to me again how wonderful You are

Without You, I cannot live
Jesus, without You, I dare not die

Be near, be near
(Won't You be near, please, be near)
I can make it through the darkness
Knowing You're here
Be near, be near
(Won't You be near, please, be near)
Come and dwell where I am weakest
Let Your presence be my strength
Move Your hand, calm my fear
Be near

In Your name who has overcome the world
I make this prayer, I make this prayer

Be near, be near
(Won't You be near, oh, yes)
I can make it through this darkness
Knowing You're here
Be near, be near
(Won't You be near, please, be near)
Come and dwell where I am weakest
Let Your presence be my strength
Move Your hand, calm my fear
Move Your hand and calm my fear
Oh, be near
