You Are Near
 
When my heart is weary
Not knowing where to turn
I close my eyes and listen
The answer will come soon
When others seem too busy
With so many things to do
I close my eyes and whisper
My troubles and cares to you
Somehow you make things better
Lifting all my pain and grief
You brighten my darkest corner
In you I do believe
You are always near me
Showing me the way
I know you truly love me
Each and everyday
Nothing I can't handle
With you here in my life
Helping me to manage
My troubles and my strife
Heavenly Father I need you
Please stay with me
I want to follow your footsteps
Be the best that I can be
When my days are over
My breathing comes to cease
You'll meet me on the other side
Where my spirit will find true peace
