When no mountaintop gives me a clear view
And there’s noise too loud for me to hear through
Nothing brings You closer than my tears do
Lord, I need to be near You

I don’t need a fix to my problem
I don’t need an answer when I ask
I don’t need to know about my future
And I don’t need to understand my past
Lord, I need to be near You

When the suffering is on my doorstep
And I’m crippled by all of my regrets
I’m praying that You never let me forget
That Lord, I need to be near You

I don’t need my heart to be unbroken
And I don’t need to get what I don’t have
I don’t need the door I want to open
And I don’t need my hurt to heal fast
Lord, I need to be near You

I need to be near You
I need to be near You
I need to be near

And when I wake up to find a new day
And the sun is shining down on my face
And I start thinking that I’m okay
Lord, I need to be near You

I don’t need applause or approval
I don’t need the world to know my name
I don’t need any gold or any silver
And I don’t need to rest in my own strength
Lord, I need to be near You
And Lord, I need to be near You
