Close To You

I’m seeking the peace that I need.

I long to hear Your voice
Over the chaos of the day,
The turbulence and noise.
 
I long to walk beside You, Lord,
To know I’m close to You.
I want to live within Your peace
Whatever I move through.
 
I know that, more than I want You,
You want to hold me near.
Yet I live in a fallen world,
My thoughts aren’t always clear.
 
Thus I know, when we drift apart,
It’s I who slipped away,
But I know, too, You won’t let me
Go very far astray.
 
For, even in this broken world,
Your make Your presence known
And You won’t give up easily
On any of Your own.
