All my joy is in You, all I am longs for You
To spend every moment of my life in Your presence
And to abide in You, Lord, and in Your love
To be filled, my God, oh, with Your Holy Spirit
I want to walk like You walked
Lord of the wind and the waves
Guide me through the storms of life
Knowing that by Your side I’m safe
Lord, be near to me always
Keep me close I pray
‘Cause I can’t live a day
Without You by my side
Lord, You know I’ve tried
And every time I find
Myself on my knees
You make my heart complete
So Jesus, be near to me always
Be at home Lord, and in control in my heart
I will give up everything for You
Oh, to know Your voice, to hear You speak to me
It’s Your words alone that make me new
You are God, maker and creator
With everything in Your hands
You are strong when I am weak
And it’s by Your grace I’ll stand
Lord, be near to me always
Keep me close I pray
‘Cause I can’t live a day
Without You by my side
Lord, You know I’ve tried
And every time I find
Myself on my knees
You make my heart complete
So Jesus, be near to me always
I want to be with You
And know that You’re with me
Lord, even if I can’t feel You
I’ll always know where You’ll be
Lord, be near to me always
Keep me close I pray
‘Cause I can’t live a day
Without You by my side
Lord, You know I’ve tried
And every time I find
Myself on my knees
You make my heart complete
So Jesus, be near to me always
