Near

How can a world so beautiful? 
 Be so cold, be so cruel 
 Sometimes love just seems so far away. 
 Suffering is no stranger here 
 Breaks my heart, feeds my fear 
 Trying to steal my hope and my faith. 

But I believe you when you say 

You are near, whenever I feel alone 
I'm not on my own 
 God I know you're standing here. You are near, when all the world seems dark 
 Still I know you are the light 
that will always find me here 
You are near. 

 Father we know you're here with us, 
In our tears, in this dust 
 Reaching them where sometimes we just can't see. 
 You never leave and never will 
Your love saves does not fail 
 So lead us to be the hands and feet. 

 Until the whole world sees 

 That you near, whenever I feel alone 
 I'm not on my own 
 God I know you're standing here. 
 You are near, when all the world seems dark 
 Still I know you are the light 
that will always find me here 
You are near. 

 On the cross your life was taken, 
 by your death we are awakened 
 We will never forsaken now 
You're alive and hope is risen 
 Heart restored and I'm forgiven 
Love is here to stay and love is here to stay. 

 You are near, whenever we feel alone 
 We're not on our own 
 God we know you're standing here. 
 You are near, when all the world seems dark 
 Still we know you are the light 
that will always find us here 
 You are near. 
You are near. 

Whenever I feel alone 
 I'm not on my own 
 God I know you're standing here
