Be Near

My father in law penned these beautiful words months ago and they have been on my mind so much this week. I am often overwhelmed by the deep, rich, blessing I have in my mother-in-law and father-in-law. I am very much looking forward to being with them SOON!

Be Near 
Larry Littlejohn


I often see the shadows; I often live with fear.
But I know You are with me and care for each tear.
So come loving Father; come with great might.
Show me Your glory; show me Your light.
Illumine my darkness; banish all my fear.
Come loving Father, and always be near.

The world is filled with hurt, and evil does abound.
But heaven ’s not a dream, and help can be found.
So come living Jesus; come with great grace.
Show me Your glory; show me Your face.
Illumine my darkness; banish all my fear.
Come living Jesus, and always be near.

Life seems so busy; hurry here and there.
But I have Your filling, and I have Your prayer.
So come Holy Spirit; come with great rest.
Show me Your glory; show me Your best.
Illumine my darkness; banish all my fear.
Come Holy Spirit, and always be near.

Come Triune God, You are the One.
Come Triune God, Father, Spirit, Son.
Illumine my darkness; banish all my fear.
Come Triune God, and always be near.
