Be Close

I can't unsee
What I've just seen
I can't make sense of one more senseless tragedy

Another light
Put out by dark
This wicked world just makes me wonder where You are

Jesus, be close to the broken hearted
Save those who are crushed in spirit
We know that You've always been our only hope
Be near when our minds are flooded with fear
Be the hand that's wiping our tears
And the voice that whispers
"Weary soul, be still and know
I'll always be close"

Where there is hate
Let there be peace
When I don't see a change let change begin with me

And where there is evil
Be not dismayed
Give me the strength to stare that evil in the face and say

Jesus, be close to the broken hearted
Save those who are crushed in spirit
We know that You've always been our only hope
Be near when our minds are flooded with fear
Be the hand that's wiping our tears
And the voice that whispers
"Weary soul, be still and know
I'll always be close"

In our hurting, be close
In our grieving, be close
In our crying, be close
We need You, Lord we need You

In our families, be close
In our country, be close
In this lost world, be close
We need You

Oh Jesus, be close to the broken hearted
Save those who are crushed in spirit
We know that You've always been our only hope
Be near when our minds are flooded with fear
Be the hand that's wiping our tears
And the voice that whispers
"Weary soul, be still and know
I'll always be close"
Be close
