Never Far Away

(albüm: Come Walk With Me - 1997)

Today as I went walking
I looked around carefully
At the things people worship
As their deity
Things they do to their bodies
That eats away at their minds
They want a Garden of Eden
But it's a place they'll never find

The idle things you worship
This I proclaim to you
That the God who made everything
Is the one I take my troubles to
And if you search for Him
He's never far from you

He's not a part of my imagination
And not made by human hands
He gives life and breath to every mortal
I'm just trying to make you understand
In Him we live and move and have our being
I heard the scripture say
That the Lord has been patient
But He's coming back one day
And if you search for Him
He's never far away

We lived our lives to the limit
And lost our innocence
The Lord commands everybody
To humble themselves and repent
'Cause the one they crucified
That was raised up from the dead
Will judge the world in righteousness
He's coming just like He said
And if you search for Him
And grope for Him
You will find Him
He's never far, far away

Yeah never far away
He is never far
He is never, no no no no
Say the Lord is coming back one day, yes He is
The Lord is never, never, never far away, oh no
If you search for Him
And grope for Him
He...
You will find Him
Never, never, never, never, never, never far away
Come now, Lord
Said if you asked
And search
And grope
Oh the Lord is never ever far away
The Lord has been patient, yes He has
He's coming back one day...
