Vs1. Ya brought me here Lord, gave me a huge assignment! To govern myself well and help my fellow man. You know how it goes down here, there's trouble from the enemy. If I'll succeed at all, I need you to be ever near.

Hook: So dear Lord, be ever near. The things that I have to face, can't face them alone. Give me wisdom Lord, to stay with you. Then I beg you Lord, to walk with me always..

Vs2. If I draw nigh to you, you'll draw to me the bible says, It's an absolute necessity, if I'll see you in peace. When I stand before your throne, and it's your time to judge me. That can only go well, if you cover me.

Hook: So dear Lord, be ever near. The things that I have to face, can't face them alone. Give me wisdom Lord, to stay with you. Then I beg you Lord, to walk with me always.

Instrument solo.

Outro: Now I lay me down to sleep, be ever near. I pray you Lord to keep, be ever near. If I should die before I wake, be ever near. I pray you Lord my soul to take, be ever near. Bass: Be ever near X2 fade.
