You Are Near

1.
Yahweh, I know you are near,
standing always at my side.
You guard me from the foe,
and you lead me in ways everlasting.

Lord, you have searched my heart,
and you know when I sit and when I stand.
Your hand is upon me protecting me from death,
keeping me from harm.

2.
Where can I run from Your love?
If I climb to the heavens You are there;
If I fly to the sunrise or sail beyond the sea,
still I'd find You there.

3.
You know my heart and its ways,
you who formed me before I was born
in the secret of darkness before I saw the sun
in my mother's womb.

4.
Marvelous to me are Your works;
how profound are Your thoughts, my Lord.
Even if I could count them, they number as the stars,
You would still be there.

As the deer lyrics

As the deer panteth
for the water
so my soul longeth after thee.
You alone are my heart’s desire
and I long to worship thee.

Chorus
you alone are my strength my shield
to you alone may my spirit yield;
you alone are my hearts desire
and I long to worship thee.

You’re my friend
and you are my brother
even though you are a king.
I love you more than any other
so much more than anything.
(repeat chorus)

I love you more than gold or silver
only you can satisfy.
You alone are the real joy giver
and the apple of my eye.
(repeat chorus)
