God Here

O God, when no one’s there, You're always there,
when everyone is far away, You're near,
when no one hears, You still can hear my prayer,
when all the rest are gone, You’re always here.
When I need help, Your help You always bring,
You fly to dry my eye when I must cry,
You offer me enough of everything,
I know You will be there when I must die.
I sense You closest when we are alone,
I know You deepest when You speak to me,
You take away my fear of the unknown,
forgiving all my sins, You set me free.
Our closeness, Lord, I feel will be complete
when I see You in everyone I meet.
