Jesus Is Always Nearby!

My soul is broken… my body’s achin’.

At times… I feel so utterly forsaken.

I’ve tried to serve God the best I could.

His will and ways,

I never understood/

Rather than trusting him

and holding his hand;

My life is sinking

like quicksand.

There’s many nights, I’ve cried

myself to sleep.

I feel like I’m in a pit 100 foot deep.

I cried unto the Lord to pull me out.

From you …Oh Lord…

I don’t want to be without!

By your tender mercy and unfailing grace.

I trust you to put my

life on a sold place.

This solid place is Jesus…

my rock and foundation.

I’ve received his wonderful gift of salvation.

He put my feet on a rock to stay.

And his word guides me

each and every day.

A song of thanksgiving to him I now bring.

He alone is my righteousness and everything.

He’s always there when I’ve needed

someone to turn to.

He’s here right now...and is waiting for you!
