Matthew West - Be Close Lyrics

I can't unsee What I've just seen I can't make sense of one more senseless tragedy

Another light Put out by dark This wicked world just makes me wonder where You are

Jesus, be close to the broken hearted Save those who are crushed in spirit We know that You've always been our only hope Be near when our minds are flooded with fear Be the hand that's wiping our tears And the voice that whispers "Weary soul, be still and know I'll always be close"

Where there is hate Let there be peace When I don't see a change let change begin with me

And where there is evil Be not dismayed Give me the strength to stare that evil in the face and say

Jesus, be close to the broken hearted Save those who are crushed in spirit We know that You've always been our only hope Be near when our minds are flooded with fear Be the hand that's wiping our tears And the voice that whispers "Weary soul, be still and know I'll always be close"

In our hurting, be close In our grieving, be close In our crying, be close We need You, Lord we need You

In our families, be close In our country, be close In this lost world, be close We need You

Oh Jesus, be close to the broken hearted Save those who are crushed in spirit We know that You've always been our only hope Be near when our minds are flooded with fear Be the hand that's wiping our tears And the voice that whispers "Weary soul, be still and know I'll always be close" Be close
