Be Thou Near to Me
Divine Presence in the Shadows: Be Thou Near to Me
Lyrics
Oh, Lord I come with heart, here open
Expressing a sincere approach to the Lord with an open heart.
For in my hour of darkness I may be
Acknowledging a challenging or dark period and the need for divine support.
Seeking the joy of love unspoken
Searching for the happiness found in unspoken or unconditional love.
Oh, Lord be Thou near to me
Pleading for the Lord's closeness and presence in times of need.
And the holy voices sing Hallelu (Hallelujah)
Referencing the joyous expression "Hallelu" (Hallelujah) sung by holy voices.
Ever will Thy reign be
Asserting the eternal nature of the Lord's reign.
As I wander through this life
Navigating through the challenges of life, seeking divine proximity.
Oh, Lord be Thou near to me
Reiterating the plea for the Lord to be close throughout life's journey.
Though in this burden of my making
Acknowledging personal responsibility for challenges faced.
Yet in the shadows, still a light I see
Finding a glimmer of hope even in difficult times.
Maker whose love is not forsaken
Affirming the enduring nature of the Creator's love.
Oh, Lord be Thou near to me
Renewing the request for the Lord's proximity despite challenges.
And the holy voices sing Hallelu (Hallelujah)
Repeating the joyful exclamation "Hallelu" with holy voices.
Ever will Thy reign be
Emphasizing the everlasting reign of the Lord.
As I wander through this life
Continuing the journey through life, seeking the Lord's presence.
Oh, Lord be Thou near to me
Reiterating the plea for the Lord's nearness throughout life.
And the holy voices sing Hallelu (Hallelujah)
Again, expressing the joyful exclamation "Hallelu" with holy voices.
Ever will Thy reign be
Reaffirming the eternal nature of the Lord's reign.
As I wander through this life
Persisting in the journey through life, seeking the Lord's closeness.
Oh, Lord be Thou near to me
Final plea for the Lord's proximity and support.
Oh, Lord be Thou near to me
Concluding the prayer with a final request for the Lord's nearness.
