This song is about being in despair, whatever the circumstance, but asking for the Lord to be near to you. Just knowing He is near is enough to sustain you through anything that comes your way.

Hi! I am a new Christian singer/songwriter and am just starting to try to get my songs out into the world! I am hoping that these songs will be picked up by artists, published, and if the Lord leads in this direction, I would love to record in a studio! :) Thanks for listening and tell your friends if you like my songs!

Story behind the song
My mother-in-law has been battling bone marrow cancer. While praying for her in the car one day - the day she was to go into chemo in preparation for a stem cell transplant - this song was given to me. This song is for her, and praise the Lord, it looks like this experimental treatment is working so far!
Lyrics
I need to know You hear. I need to know You care. 'Cause I don't know how much more of this I can take. I want to see Your hand, I know You have a plan, So right now more than anything (CHORUS) I need You near me. Lord, I wanna feel Your presence near me. I don't want another moment spent far away from You. I need You near me. The trials of this life Often seem too much to bear. But I don't have to carry this load on my own. You promised You'd be there, Close as a whispered prayer, So hear me now, I'm crying out: (CHORUS) Wrapped in Your arms, I feel the warmth of Your love Comforting, keeping me safe from the storm. Jesus, my shelter and my soft place to fall, How I love to be right next to Your heart. (CHORUS)
