When You Are Near

(album: Beyond Measure - 2006)

There's no need to say a thing,
When I'm before you in this silence
I feel refreshed with peace
Break this noise that binds the voice
That tries speak open up my eyes to see
Your gracious sovereign reach

[CHORUS]
It's hard to talk when I feel that you are near,
When all is quiet it's the beauty that I hear,
This hidden place where I know that you calm my fears
I know that you've washed my tears

The seasons of change I've faced
Have never left me wounded
Only scars of hurt
But never deeply rooted
This healing I have felt
No burden can replace
Redemptive hope has been the story of my pain

All is lost without the breath of life you give
And you give so much
I want nothing more than you so here's my heart
