Lyrics
NEARER
Nearer Lord
I want to be nearer Lord
And as I come nearer Lord
I know I wona€™t be turned away
Nearer Lord
I need to be nearer Lord
And as I come nearer Lord
I know that You will do the same
Ita€™s not enough to send my love
As if You were far away
Ia€™m drawing near to bring my love
Into Your presence here, today
Nearer Lord
I want to be nearer Lord
And as I come nearer Lord
I know I wona€™t be turned away
Nearer Lord
I need to be nearer Lord
And as I come nearer Lord
I know that You will do the same
Ita€™s not enough to send my love
As if You were far away
Ia€™m drawing near to bring my love
Into Your presence here, today
Nearer Lord
I want to be nearer Lord
And as I come nearer Lord
I know I wona€™t be turned away
Nearer Lord
I need to be nearer Lord
And as I come nearer Lord
I know that You will do the same
And as I come nearer Lord
I know that You will do the same
And as I come nearer Lord
I know that You will do the same
