Be near

Recently I have taken to this worship song ..."Be Near"..it resonates in my soul and heart and really speaks to me...I have been in a place where I am desperate to hear from the Lord...with my mom's illness and Ryan's dad's illness...there is jsut so much in our lives where it seems that God is not protecting. I know this to be false and I know that God is control and that he will use all these things to his glory....but I would just like to hear from him...to know that he is near.

Here are the lyrics:

You are all
Big and Small
beautiful
and wonderful
to trust in grace through faith
bust I'm asking to taste

Dark is light to you
depths are height to you
far is near
but Lord, I need to hear from you

Be near, Oh god
be near, Oh god of us
your nearness is to us out good
be near, Oh God
Be near, Oh God of us
Your nearness is to us our good

Your fullness is mine
revelation devine
but, O, to taste
to know you are much more than a page
to feel your embrace

Dark is light to you
depths are height to you
far is near
but Lord I need to hear from you

Be near, Oh God
be near, Oh God of us
your nearness is to us our good
Be near, Oh God
Be near, Oh God of us
your nearness is to our good


The line that gets me everytime is ....But Lord I need to hear from you! That is my hearts cry right now! Lord, I need to hear from you!
