Dedicated to Liane who is now at home with Jesus.

In the darkness, I feel Your warm embrace
Your whispers, Lord, they calm my fears
My heart melts within me
Knowing that You are near

CHORUS:
Lord, You are near
I long to feel Your touch
Lord, You are near
I'm thirsting for your love
You are near
Lord, You are near

Through my trials, Lord, I know You are with me
Loving hands so strong, they wipe my tears
Sorrow turns to joy
Knowing that You are near

CHORUS
