Near

You came near when I called on you; you said, 'Do not fear!'
You have taken up my cause, O Lord; you have redeemed my life.
Lamentations 3:57-58

When I was far away
I called out to You, Lord
and found You were near.

And on my roughest day
when I turned to You, Lord
I found You near.

When I was running away
You were waiting there
to calm my fear.

And on my repenting day
You ran to me where
I was, to pull me clear.

You have come to rescue me
from my trouble and my sin
wiping away my every tear.

You paid the price, buying me
from the slavery I was in,
redeeming me with blood so dear.
