Nearness
the lord is never nearer than when he seems to be away
in times when we are tempted and apt to go astray
in times of hurt and sadnessheis right there by our side
with his love surrounds us when we in him abide
when problems loom above us too big for us to bear
we " turn them over to jesus"who resuces from despair
we can know his presence trust his word that he is near
that to him we are precious he will protect us from all fear
we must trust him in our weakness lean on him from day to day
for he is never nearer than when he seems to be away
