My Lord is Always Near
My Lord Is Always Near
As troubles and trials start to appear,
And life is filled with pain,
When there’s such wickedness to fear,
And faith begins to wane;
It seems I hear my Saviour say,
"There is no need to fret.
I’m here beside you all the way;
I’ve never left you yet."
Great peace and calm, within me, steal,
That’s hard to understand.
It’s then, that I can almost feel
The touch of my Master’s hand,
So gently leading and guiding me on;
Helping me through each test.
I know He’ll never leave me alone:
This puts my mind at rest.
The cares of life just seem to fade,
With my Saviour by my side.
My mind, on Him, is always stayed;
I, in His love, abide.
For sin and suffering to cease,
My heart, within me, yearns.
The Kingdom of God will bring us peace,
When our blessed Lord returns.
