I sang this song when I was in school, I think is one of the most beautiful songs ever, I have just had a baby and would like to sing it to him as a lullaby, Can any help:

The lirics I can remember are:
Yahwah I know you are near,
Standing always at my side.....

Yahwah I know you are near

I think these are the lyrics you're looking for:

You Are Near

1.
Yahweh, I know you are near,
standing always at my side.
You guard me from the foe,
and you lead me in ways everlasting.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Hope it helps. God bless!

Thank you Steve.

I sing parts of this song to my children as a lullaby also. I thought to check online to see if I could find all the lyrics (We are living in Portugal). I can't wait to sing all the words to my children tomorrow night!

Thanks again! Michelle

Thank you Steve. My husband and I go to a senior community on Sunday morning to do THE LITURGY OF THE WORD with Holy Communion. We have started to incorprate music and found that our shut ins love to sing along but they can't remember all the words. So now we are all better able to participate with song and prayer at our service.

Thank you Steve ... my non denominational Christian daughter was asking me for the words cuz she thinks its so beautiful. I have the Breaking Bread Book with the hymns but couldn't find it because I didn't know the title.
