How could a world so beautiful
Be so cold, be so cruel
Sometimes love just seems so far away
Suffering is no stranger here
Breaks my heart, feeds my fear
Trying to steal my hope and my faith
But I believe You when You say
You are near
Whenever I feel alone
I'm not on my own
God I know You're standing here
You are near
When all the world seems dark
Still I know You are the Light
That will always find me here
You are near
Father we know You're here with us
In our tears, in this dust
Reaching in ways sometimes we just can't see
You never leave and never will
Your love saves, does not fail
So lead us to be Your hands and feet
Until the whole world sees that
You are near
Whenever I feel alone
I'm not on my own
God I know You're standing here
You are near
When all the world seems dark
Still I know You are the Light
That will always find me here
You are near
On the cross Your life was taken
By Your death we are awakened
We will never be forsaken now
You're alive and hope is risen
Hearts restored and all forgiven
Love is here to stay, Love is here to stay
You are near
Whenever we feel alone
We're not on our own
God we know You're standing here
You are near
When all the world seems dark
Still we know You are the Light
That will always find us here
You are near
You are near
Whenever I feel alone
I'm not on my own
God I know You're standing here
