Lyrics:
VERSE 1
When the trials come and sorrows fall on me
You are my strength, the ground beneath my feet
When temptation calls to worry about my life
I will place my hope in the cross of Jesus Christ
And joy will be my song
Yes joy will be my song
CHORUS
For You are near, near to me
You still my anxious thoughts
And You bring Your peace
You are near when I call
You drive out all my fears
And calm this troubled heart
You’re near to me
VERSE 2
You told me to rejoice in every circumstance
And trust in You alone and in Your sovereign plan
You beckon me to come and bring You my requests
You promised that Your peace would come and bring me rest
And joy will be my song
Yes joy will be my song
BRIDGE
When I don’t hear You, You’re still near
When I don’t feel You, You’re still near
When I think that You have abandoned me
You’re still near, You are near
You’ll never leave me
You’re still near
You are near
