Be Near Oh God

As I was driving home from work today--almost giddy with excitement about the fact that the weekend is finally here--I was listening to a song by Christian artists Shane & Shane entitled "Be Near." I began to think about how truly blessed I am and what an absolutely amazing time in my life I am experiencing--as well as how desperately I need the Lord.

All too often, we turn to God when things are going wrong, but fail to draw close to Him when everything is going well. This song is a great reminder that nothing in this world--even the most awesome seasons of life--can compare to "being near" to our Savior.

Be Near
by Shane & Shane

Based on Psalms 73:28; 139

You are all
big and small
beautiful
and wonderful
to trust in grace through faith
but i'm asking to taste...

for 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 us our good, our good

Your fullness is mine
revelation divine
but, o, to taste
to know much more than a page
to feel Your embrace...

for dark is light to You
the 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 us our good, our good
