God Is Near
IVES Church
And if a brother's voice is all I need to hear
Telling me how important I am to God
That there is no relief for a pain
This makes up for so many people's pain
And if the price paid on the cross reaches me
I'll have a reason to dream
Help me rebuild the path to the heart of God
Your touch and your words
Help me feel
That God is near
Who still loves me
And you won't give up on me
Even though I'm afraid
That God is near
Sending the response
That I sought in the midst of so many situations that only brought pain
That God is near
Who can still see me
And that tight hug you gave me
It made me feel like I was God!
My anxieties are real
Not just a fruit of memory
But the lie of the vile tempter
It was all good, it kept me away
But there was still time to hear a voice
Saying it was my help
As you wrapped me in your embrace
Once again I thank you
For being much more than a friendly shoulder
But it was God
Who sent you
In the strongest moment of my wound
I found your embrace that enveloped me
And it was God
And it was God
My anxieties are real
Not just a fruit of memory
But the lie of the vile tempter
It was all good, it kept me away
But there was still time to hear a voice
Saying it was my help
As you wrapped me in your embrace
Once again I thank you
For being much more than a friendly shoulder
But it was God
Who sent you
In the strongest moment of my wound
I found your embrace that enveloped me
And it was God
And it was God
