Stay Near, Lord (Contemporary Christian)

[Verse 1] When morning finds me folded in the quiet, And yesterday still weighs upon my hands, You meet me where the smallest hope is hiding, And teach my restless heart to understand. [Chorus] Stay near, Lord, in the stillness, Be the peace I cannot make. Hold me gently through the waiting, Keep me steady when I shake. I will rest beneath Your mercy; I am known, and I am safe. [Verse 2] The simple bread, the open window breathing, A patient kindness offered without price, You turn my eyes toward those who need a shelter, And make compassion more than words tonight. [Chorus] Stay near, Lord, in the stillness, Be the peace I cannot make. Hold me gently through the waiting, Keep me steady when I shake. I will rest beneath Your mercy; I am known, and I am safe. [Bridge] If the road is long, You walk beside me; If my strength is small, Your love remains. Take this day, its joys and unanswered questions; Let my life reflect Your grace. [Final Chorus] Stay near, Lord, in the stillness, Be the peace I cannot make. Hold me gently through the waiting, Keep me steady when I shake. I will rest beneath Your mercy; I am known, and I am safe. I am known, and I am safe. [Outro] I am known, and I am safe.
