Be Near

(album: Carry Away - 2003)

You are all
Big and small
Beautiful
And wonderful
To trust in grace through faith
But I'm asking to taste...
For dark is light to You
Depths are height to You
Far is near
But, Lord, I need to hear from You

Be near, O God
Be near, O God, of us
Your nearness
Is to us our good
Be near, O God
Be near, O God, of us
Your nearness
Is to us our good, our good

Your fullness is mine
Revelation divine
But, o, to taste
To know much more than a page
To feel Your embrace...

For dark is light to You
The depths are height to You
Far is near
But, Lord, I need to hear from You

Be near, O God
Be near, O God, of us
Your nearness
Is to us our good
Be near, O God
Be near, O God, of us
Your nearness
Is to us our good, our good

Be near, O God
Be near, O God, of us
Your nearness
Is to us our good
Be near, O God
Be near, O God, of us
Your nearness
Is to us our good, our good
My God
