If your heart is heavy
If you are burdened or distressed emotionally,
If your soul is thirsty
If your spirit is in need of nourishment,
There is a refuge
There is a place of safety and comfort,
A home for the lonely
A dwelling for those who feel isolated or abandoned,
‘Cause our God is near, our God is near
Because our God is close, intimately present.
Our God is near, our God is near

A residence for those who feel alone,
‘Cause our God is near, our God is near
