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
