Always Near

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I want to sing a song of joy,

Of contentment and cheer.

I want to lift my voice in thanks

That You hold me so dear.

I want to sing a brand new song

That all the world will hear

And understand my gratitude

That You are ever near.

 

I don’t have to seek through the land

To find Your loving grace.

I never have to travel far

To enter Your embrace.

I won’t have to circle the globe

To find the holy place

Where I can hear Your still, small voice

Or glimpse Your loving face.

 

For You are always near to me

You answer when I call.

I am beloved of the Lord,

The greatest gift of all!

 

Psalm 121:2-3

I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come?  My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. He will not let your foot be moved; he who keeps you will not slumber.
