Would a mother leave her baby when it needed her?
Would a father give his hungry child a stone?
Would I come to earth to give My life and die for you
And then in your time of darkness would I leave you all alone?
I'm here, so much closer than you know
So near and I will never let you go
So when the darkness of this world causes you to fear
Don't fear. I'm here. So near.
I hear the words you speak before they reach the air
And every breath you breathe I breathe with you
Everything that touches you is touching Me
Everyone who hurts your heart is hurting My heart too
I'm here so much closer than you know
So near and I will never let you
So when the darkness of this world causes you to fear
Don't fear. I'm here. So near.
So if the darkness of this world causes you to fear
Don't fear.
Don't fear.
I'm here
And I am
SO NEAR
