My Friend,
God isn't far away
But surrounds you with his love.
It was him who opened your eyes this morning,
It is his strength
That will carry you through this day,
And it is in his peace
That your heart will find rest tonight.
God isn't far away.
He is the light of this day.
He is the sky above you,
And the earth beneath you,
And the life of every living thing.
God isn't far away.
He is in every smile,
In every thought that gives you hope,
In every tear that waters your soul,
In every moment you can't face alone.
God isn't far away.
He is the love on a loved one's face,
He is in the friends along the way,
In strangers you've yet to meet,
And blessings you've yet to receive.
God isn't far away.
He is in every good thing that touches you.
He is in every step you make
And every breath you take.
God is not far away For he is with you Always.........
Do you at times feel helpless
Like a ship against the tide?
You feel the darkened waters
Constant crashing 'gainst the side?
You're in tumultuous waters
You have been tossed to and fro
Your thoughts are turning frantic
And the tides too strong to row
You're out in the great open
At the mercy of the sea
And suddenly you're feeling
All your inadequecies
Feeling so awfully helpless
Forces out of your control
For they are so much bigger
Without help, affect your soul
There is one force that's greater
That is stronger than the rest
It is our Lord Almighty
For solutions, He's the best
When you're feeling tossed about
And your future's looking bleak
May it be God you call for
And the first one that you seek
For He's the greatest calmer
Greatest peace you'll ever find
When our own understanding
Leads us in these waters blind
He is always there for us
We need give control to Him
And let the Lord take over
When you're just too tired to swim
For He is your protector
Safely carry you ashore
So call on Him and trust Him
Let His love for you outpour
