Be Thou Near to Me
Embracing Divine Presence in Life's Journey
Lyrics
O Lord I come with heart here open
Approaching with an open heart, I come to you, O Lord.
For in my hour of darkness I may be
In times of darkness or difficulty, I may need your presence.
Seeking the joy of love unspoken
Seeking the joy that comes from unspoken expressions of love.
O Lord, be thou near to me
O Lord, I ask for your closeness and companionship.
And the holy voices sing hallelu
Holy voices proclaiming praise, singing hallelujah.
Ever will thy reign be
Your reign will endure forever, as declared by these voices.
As I wander through this life
As I navigate through the challenges of life.
Oh Lord, be thou near to me
O Lord, I seek your proximity and guidance.
Though in this burden of my making
Despite the burdens I've created for myself.
Yet in the shadows still a light I see
Even in the shadows, I perceive a glimmer of light.
A father who’s love is not forsaken
A loving father whose love is unwavering and not abandoned.
O Lord, be thou near to me
O Lord, be close to me in this realization.
And the holy voices sing hallelu
Holy voices continue to sing praises, expressing joy.
Ever will thy reign be
Your reign will persist eternally, as reiterated by these voices.
As I wander through this life
As I journey through the complexities of life.
Oh Lord, be thou near to me
O Lord, may your presence always be near to me.
