Be Not Far

 

My heart cries out within me, Lord,
In my worry and fear.
I lift up to You those I love.
I pray, Lord, that You hear.
 
Please guard them in their times of pain,
And heal each wound they bear.
Let them not walk the dark valleys
Without knowing You’re there.
 
Stay close to them in times of grief,
In loss or deep sorrow.
Give them the comfort of Your peace
Wherever they must go.
 
In hope, I give You those I love,
As You gave them me.
Please keep them close beneath Your wing
Where they are meant to be.
 
My heart cries out to You, Oh Lord,
My soul sings songs of praise
In thanks to You for guiding them
And guarding them always.
 
Psalm 38:21
Do not forsake me, O Lord! O my God, be not far from me!
