He Is Ever Near


We met at an old cross.
I gave my heart and soul to He
Who is ever near, He who will always
And forever with me be.

Many times He hath watched o'er me,
Even when I did not know.
So, where e'er in life Jesus leads me,
With Him I will surely go.

He watches o'er the sparrow,
The lilies of the field every day.
So, why not us, too,
As we bow our head to Him and Pray?

He knows our hearts, yours and mine.
Are our hearts true, today?
Have we really took up our cross
And followed all the way?

To Calvary's Mountain,
We have to climb and faithfully be,
As He would have us looking
Through His eyes, the beauty to see.

He is ever near as we dream dreams,
Go through troubles that abound.
He misses nothing and as He sees us hurt,
Soon our hearts His love wraps around.

He watches His sheep e'er we go astray.
He molds our hearts as clay;
Watching and waiting for tomorrow
To bring us back to Him that day.

When we climb the mountain too high
And fall back again in sin,
We need just to get up and brush off sin
And take on Christ again.

He will ever be with us. He will never leave us,
This our King of Kings,
But as we go through the ails and troubles of life,
A way of escape He brings,

To let our hearts know safety,
As doth the sparrow in the Spring of the year,
And we know we can ever count on Him
Because He is ever near.
