Be Near Me lyrics

I follow all the rules
Well, at least I`m trying
Hoping when my days are through
You`ll be pleased

I`ve lived the longest days
Thinking my heart was so bad
Too scared to look in your face
Oh, if only I had

[Bridge:]
And is it alright
If I stay here all night
By the shoreline

[Chorus:]
I cannot believe you are angry or unjust
You`ve done nothing but have compassion on us
So be near me when I`ve given up
Be near me

I`m just like everyone else
We are all hiding
Acting like I have a wealth
Of knowledge and peace

But all I`ve ever wanted
And what men have given their lives for
Is a God who understands my weaknesses
A God that I can love

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

I believe you are good and righteous
You`ve given me your reckless love
So be near, be near...
