It's that time of year again. Where all of us artists go crazy for 7 days.
I've been SO sick the last several days and so don't mind the roughness of this recording.
This song is called You Are Near.
When I can't see the light
Let me shine for You
When I'm lost and in the fight
Help me cry to You
You are are near
Jesus You are near
Help me believe You
That You are near
When I can't find the way
Help me see Your face
When I've wandered far away
Help me feel Your grace
You are near
Jesus You are near
Help me believe You
That You are near
When I doubt you in fear
Help me stand for You
When I'm drenched in all my tears
Help me sing to You
You are near
Jesus You are near
Help me believe You
That You are near
Um, Wow! It's been awhile since I've heard that amazing voice.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great song. It sounds like one of those that will come back to you at just the right time.
And, uh, this sounds kinda crazy, but have you thought about doing a kid version? I realize your voice is much more Patty Griffin than kids' choir, but I think it would be encouraging for kids (of all ages) to know this song. Can you record some kids singing it too? Or what if kids sang it themselves and posted their renditions on here? Don't you know some kids in Iowa?
Emily I really love this song, its that prayer we all pray sometimes. I can't figure out what artist you remind me of here, but I will let you (cause it will bother me if I don't remember) - beautiful song!!
