Near to God

When we spend time in God’s presence, it’s OK for there to be silence. God’s knows us, and knows what we’re going though at that time, and most of all, He knows what’s in our heart. He therefore doesn’t need us to say anything because He already knows.

There's no need to say a thing when I'm before You
In this silence, I feel refreshed with peace
Break this noise that binds the voice that tries to speak
Open my eyes to see Your gracious, sovereign reach

It's hard to talk when I feel that You are near
When all is quiet, it's the beauty that I hear
This hidden place where I know that You've calmed my fears
I know that You've washed my tears

The seasons of change I've faced have never left me wounded
Only scars of hurt, but never deeply rooted
This healing I have felt, no burden can replace
Redemptive hope has been the story of my pain

It's hard to talk when I feel that You are near
When all is quiet, it's the beauty that I hear
This hidden place where I know that You've calmed my fears
'Cause I know that You've washed my tears

All is lost without the breath of life You give
And You give so much
I want nothing more than You, so here's my heart
Here's my heart

It's hard to talk when I feel that You are near
When all is quiet, it's the beauty that I hear
This hidden place where I know that You've calmed my fears
I know that You've washed my tears

I know that You've calmed my fears
'Cause I know that You've washed my tears

So it’s OK to sit in silence in God’s presence even if you’re trying to pray. He knows you, wipes your tears, and walks beside you.
