Album: Be Close - Single

Verse 1
I can't unsee what I've just seen
I can't make sense of one more senseless tragedy
Another light put out by dark
This wicked world just makes me wonder where You are

Chorus
Jesus, be close to the broken-hearted
Save those who are crushed in spirit
We know that You've always been our only hope
Be near when our minds are flooded with fear
Be the hand that's wipin' our tears
And the voicе that whispers
"Weary soul, be still and know, I'll always bе close"

Verse 2
Where there is hate, let there be peace
When I don't see a change, let change begin with me
And where there is evil, be not dismayed
Give me the strength to stare that evil in the face and say

Chorus
Jesus, be close to the broken-hearted
Save those who are crushed in spirit
We know that You've always been our only hope
Be near when our minds are flooded with fear
Be the hand that's wipin' our tears
And the voice that whispers
"Weary soul, be still and know, I'll always be close"

Bridge
In our hurtin', be close
In our grievin', be close
In our cryin', be close
We need You, Lord, we need You
In our families, be close
In our country, be close
In this lost world, be close
We need You

Chorus
Oh Jesus, be close to the broken-hearted
Save those who are crushed in spirit
We know that You've always been our only hope
Be near when our minds are flooded with fear
Be the hand that's wipin' our tears
And the voice that whispers
"Weary soul, be still and know, I'll always be close"
