You Are Near

When I open my eyes, I can see your new mercy.

When I open my eyes, I can see you are standing near.

When I stretch out my hands, I can feel your love comforting me.

When I stretch out my hands, I try so hard to touch you, but I can’t.

When I walk by the ocean, I can hear sweet angels singing.

The sun in the sky, the gracious warmth always covers me.

When I stretch out my hands, I can feel your love comforting me.

When I stretch out my hands, I try so hard to touch you, but I can’t.

You are near, O Lord, but you seem like a thousand miles away.

Sometimes I fall, and you catch me; but I turn and you disappear.

Speak to me, O Lord, may your mighty voice guide me out of my struggles.

Even though you are unseen and untouchable,

but now I know you are near and always dwell in my heart forever.
