Dan Schutte - You Are Near Lyrics






Yahweh, 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

Yahweh, 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

Yahweh, I know you are near
Standing always at my side
You guard me from the foe
And you lead me in ways everlasting

Marvelous 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

Yahweh, I know you are near
Standing always at my side
You guard me from the foe
And you lead me in ways everlasting

  1. D.... F....

    I wonder if we could use "My Lord" instead?

  2. D.... S....

    Beautiful Hymn

  3. E.... E....

    I always tear up when I hear this song.

  4. M.... ....

    I love these songs! Thank you so much!

  5. r.... ....

    I've got to be honest, ever since 2011 when we were told to drop "Yahweh" and replace it with "O Lord" this song has lost a certain something.  A certain quality.  I feel the same way about I Life Up My Soul.  Maybe it's because since I was a child it was always "Yahweh, I know you are near" or "To you, Yahweh, I life up my soul".  It's been 7 years since the new translation for the Catholic mass and still to this day every fiber of my being fights it.  No matter what part of the mass it is I'm still reciting the old translation and I'm quickly reminded, oh yeah we don't say that anymore.

    r.... ....

    RomanCoronado It is so hard trying to lead this song on the microphone and not say “Yaweh”! I’ve got to sing “OH LORD” really loudly in order to stop myself. Can’t go on autopilot during this one.

    r.... ....

    "And with your Spirit" : )

    r.... ....

    Oh well it all gets in there either way.

    r.... ....

    @R. Moreno-Realtor ha ha. Yes, that doesn't work for me either.

    r.... ....

    I agree. The new translation...I still choke on it. I suspect I will go to my grave with a terrible taste in my mouth from it.

  6. C.... L....

    Refrain:
    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.

    Refrain

    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.

    Refrain
