Chorus:
O Lord, I know you are near,
Standing always at my side.
You guard me from the foe,
And you lead me
in ways everlasting.
Lord, you have
searched my heart,
And you know
when I sit and
when I stand.
Your hand is upon me,
protecting me from death,
Keeping me from harm.
Chorus:
O Lord, I know you are near,
Standing always at my side.
You guard me from the foe,
And you lead me
in ways everlasting.
Where can I run
from your love?
If I climb to the heavens
you are there,
if I fly to the sunrise
or sail beyond the sea,
Still I'd find you there.
Chorus:
O Lord, I know you are near,
Standing always at my side.
You guard me from the foe,
And you lead me
in ways everlasting.
You know my heart and its ways,
You who formed me
before I was born.
In secret of darkness
before I saw the sun,
In my mother's womb.
Chorus:
O Lord, I know you are near,
Standing always at my side.
You guard me from the foe,
And you lead me
in ways everlasting.
Marvellous to me are your works,
How profound are your thoughts,
my Lord.
Even if I could count them,
they number as the stars,
You would still be there.
Chorus:
O Lord, I know you are near,
Standing always at my side.
You guard me from the foe,
And you lead me
in ways everlasting.
