Jesus Be Near Me - Jt's Song of the Week 12-25-24

JESUS BE NEAR ME
Copyright © John thomas Oaks and Tommy Oaks, Caliora Music Publishing, ASCAP

The whole earth was dark
No glimmer of light
You entered the world
And scattered the night
You brought salvation
To set people free
You came for the world
Now please come to me

Jesus, be near me
The darkness is deep
Stay here beside me
Help me to sleep
No need to fear
When you are my guide
Shine through the shadow
Soothe me inside
I hope you hear me
Jesus be near me

When you are near
I know I can rest
Safe in my cradle
Protected and blessed
Above me, beneath me
Around me I pray
Whatever may come
In every new day

All through the night
I’m never alone
I am a child in Your care
Whatever I do
Wherever I go
I hope you will answer my prayer
