Chorus 1
When God is near
All the world seems far away
When God is near
Ev'ry fear is set aside
When God is near
How can I stray how can I falter
I'll stay upon the altar
I know my God is near
Verse 1
Make me know Your presence Lord
The King of glory here
You know each tho't
And action hope anxiety and fear
How can I hide from Thee
Can darkness hide iniquity
Oh how can I unfaithful be
When You are very near to me
Verse 2
Make me know Your presence Lord
When I feel so alone
You know each trial and testing pain
The hurt that is unknown
O why can I not see Your hand
So firmly guiding me
Oh how can I untrusting be
When You are very near to me
