How can a world so beautiful Be so cold, be so cruel Sometimes love just seems so far away Suffering is no stranger here Breaks my heart, feeds my fear Trying to steal my hope and my faith But I believe You when You say You are near, whenever I feel alone I'm not on my own God I know You're standing here You are near, when all the world seems dark Still I know You are the light that will always find me here You are near Father we know You're here with us In our tears, in this dust Reaching them where sometimes we just can't see You never leave and never will Your love saves, does not fail So lead us to be the hands and feet Until the whole world sees That You near, whenever I feel alone I'm not on my own God I know You're standing here You are near, when all the world seems dark Still I know You are the light that will always find me here You are near On the cross Your life was taken By Your death we are awakened We will never be forsaken now You're alive and hope is risen Hearts restored and I'm forgiven Love is here to stay (repeat) You are near, whenever we feel alone We're not on our own God we know you're standing here You are near, when all the world seems dark Still we know You are the light that will always find us here You are near You are near Whenever I feel alone I'm not on my own God I know You're standing here
