(Yahweh, I Know) You Are Near ============================= w&m: Dan Schutte, 1971 [Refrain] Yahweh, I know you are near, standing always at my side. You guard me from the foe, and you lead me in ways everlasting. [Verse 1] Lord, you have searched my heart, and you know when I sit and when I stand. Your hand is upon me, protecting me from death, keeping me from harm. [Refrain] [Verse 2] Where can I run from your love? If I climb to the heavens you are there; if I fly to the sunrise or sail beyond the sea, still I'd find you there. [Refrain] [Verse 3] You know my heart and its ways, you who formed me before I was born, in the secret of darkness before I saw the sun, in my mother's womb. [Refrain] [Verse 4] Marvelous to me are your works; how profound are your thoughts, my Lord. Even if I could count them they number as the stars, you would still be there. [Refrain]
