His Love is Never Far

Her sharp words echo, carving through my mind,
A prayer escapes my lips for some peace to find.
Upon my bed I cry and pray to You,
And often wonder if Your word is true.
But who am I to doubt Your tender love
When You have shown me mercies from above?

The God Who made the world, the sky and sea
Sees me for who I am, and still loves me.
Almighty One who calls the stars by name
Forgives my sins and covers all my shame.
He knows my heart, my every flaw and scar,
And yet He says His love is never far.

Despairing, hoping for a friend to dry
These tears of wistful sorrow that I cry.
Alone and broken, waiting for a sign
That I can heal this aching heart of mine.
But who am I to doubt your saving grace
When You have brought me safely to this place?

The God Who calms the storms and conjures rain
Will wipe away my tears, and break my chains.
Almighty One who made the moon and sun
Has said His work in me is far from done.
He knows my heart, my every flaw and scar,
And yet He says His love is never far.

Though I may walk through the darkest valley,
I’ll fear no evil, for You are with me.
Every restless night You have seen me through
My love and my life, I owe them to You.
So I’ll shake off the dust, mend these broken wings,
And one day with choirs of angels I’ll sing.

The God Who watches sparrows watches over me;
His Spirit makes me who I ought to be.
Almighty One Who commands legions up above
Is still redeeming us with His great love.
He knows every dark crevice of my heart,
And yet He says His love is never far.
