Jesus, Shepherd of my soul

You called me out of darkness and into Your marvelous light

When I was far from home

You reached across the distance and carried me close to Your side

​

I will cherish Your nearness, O God

For the rest of my days

​

In the blessings and the victories

Stay close to me, stay close to me

And in times of sorrow and defeat

Stay close to me, stay close to me

I know I can face whatever life may bring

When I draw near to You

When I draw near to You

​

Spirit, given by the Father, stirring deep within me

Faithful in guiding my way

You sealed upon my heart favor and belonging

With the promise to never forsake

​

I will cherish Your nearness, O God

For the rest of my days

​

In the blessings and the victories

Stay close to me, stay close to me

And in times of sorrow and defeat

Stay close to me, stay close to me

I know I can face whatever life may bring

When I draw near to You

When I draw near to You

​

Close to me, stay close to me

I am drawing near to You

Close to me, stay close to me

​

In the blessings and the victories

And in times of sorrow and defeat

I know I can face whatever life may bring

When I draw near to You

When I draw near to You

 

When I draw near to You

When I draw near to You
