How can a world so beautiful? 

Be so cold, be so cruel 

Sometimes love just seems so far away. 

Suffering is no stranger here 

Breaks my heart, feeds my fear 

Trying to steal my hope and my faith


But I believe you when you say


You are near, whenever I feel alone

I'm not on my own 

God I know you're standing here
You are near, when all the world seems dark 

Still I know you are the light 
that will always find me here

You are near. 


Father we know you're here with us, 
In our tears, in this dust 

Reaching them where sometimes we just can't see. 

You never leave and never will

Your love saves does not fail 

So lead us to be the hands and feet. 


Until the whole world sees 


That you near, whenever I feel alone 

I'm not on my own 

God I know you're standing here. 

You are near, when all the world seems dark 

Still I know you are the light 
that will always find me here

You are near. 


On the cross your life was taken, 

By your death we are awakened 

We will never forsaken now

You're alive and hope is risen 

Heart restored and I'm forgiven

Love is here to stay and love is here to stay. 


You are near, whenever we feel alone 

We're not on our own 

God we know you're standing here. 

You are near, when all the world seems dark 

Still we know you are the light 
that will always find us here 

You are near

You are near


Whenever I feel alone 

I'm not on my own 

God I know you're standing here
