The Nearness of God (Psalm 73)
My God is the strength of my weary heart
The only support of my troubled life
My portion forever, my soul sings out
The nearness of the Lord is my good
My feet had nearly stumbled from the path of life
I coveted the ways of those who walk in pride
Secure in their riches, I envied their ease
Till the light shone down upon me
When I came into Your presence I perceived their end
They build their lavish mansions on the shifting sand
By turmoil and trouble they're soon swept away
But the Lord is my rock and refuge
My God is the strength of my weary heart
The only support of my troubled life
My portion forever, my soul sings out
The nearness of the Lord is my good
O whom have I in heaven but the Lord my God
And here on earth there's nothing else that I desire
My spirit may falter, my body may fail
But the Lord is my solid treasure
My God is the strength of my weary heart
The only support of my troubled life
My portion forever, my soul sings out
The nearness of the Lord
My God is the strength of my weary heart
The only support of my troubled life
My portion forever, my soul sings out
The nearness of God is my good
The nearness of the Lord is my good
The nearness of God is my good
The only support of my troubled life
My portion forever, my soul sings out
The nearness of the Lord is my good
My feet had nearly stumbled from the path of life
I coveted the ways of those who walk in pride
Secure in their riches, I envied their ease
Till the light shone down upon me
When I came into Your presence I perceived their end
They build their lavish mansions on the shifting sand
By turmoil and trouble they're soon swept away
But the Lord is my rock and refuge
My God is the strength of my weary heart
The only support of my troubled life
My portion forever, my soul sings out
The nearness of the Lord is my good
O whom have I in heaven but the Lord my God
And here on earth there's nothing else that I desire
My spirit may falter, my body may fail
But the Lord is my solid treasure
My God is the strength of my weary heart
The only support of my troubled life
My portion forever, my soul sings out
The nearness of the Lord
My God is the strength of my weary heart
The only support of my troubled life
My portion forever, my soul sings out
The nearness of God is my good
The nearness of the Lord is my good
The nearness of God is my good
