"More Than Near"

"More Than Near"

    

    The words below are lyrics of a song I wrote last year.  I had forgotten about them until I happened upon the song last night while searching through my files.  I thought about sending the lyrics out as today's message, and proceeded to format them accordingly.  Before sending them, however, the thought occurred to me that I may have already used these in a devotional.  I did a search and discovered to my surprise that I had in fact sent them, exactly a year ago to the day!  Here they are again, and the timing makes me hopeful the words will provide a bit of help and encouragement.

    I can see a light in the darkness, 

I hear a voice in the void. 

I can touch the hem of a garment, 

and most of all I know 

that He is here. 

His heart is more than near,

for He is here. 

I can sense a peace in stormy wind,

I walk upon a path of grace.

I can rest my heart always in Him

as by faith I look into His face.

For He is here.

His heart is more than near.

Yes, He is here.

I can see a day that soon will come,

a sun anon will rise,

when the course of all things will have run

and I look into His eyes.

He will be here, 

His heart much more than near

He will be here.

For He is here,

His heart much more than near.

Yes, He is here.

He is here.

"The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon Him, to all that call upon Him in truth."
