Where were You when I needed You?
I didn't feel You there.
Where were You when I lost my strength;
Did You even care?
How can I know that You,
The great God of all creation,
Really see my every tear?
And how can I know that You,
Precious One who lives in heaven,
Really come to calm my fear?

I will draw near, near, I will draw near to You.
I will draw near, near, I will draw near to You.

You never turn, You never leave,
You never let Your love stop flowing
Because I need to see
That it's just me in my pride,
And I won't let You turn my anger into love,
Although You've tried.

I will draw near, near, I will draw near to You.
I will draw near, near, I will draw near to You.

Change my heart, change me now,
Draw me close to You somehow.
Make me new, white as snow,
Draw me close so Your love can show.

Keep lifting me higher; God's love keeps on lifting me higher.
Keep lifting me higher; God's love keeps on lifting me higher.
I will draw near, near, I will draw near to You.
