Jesus has always been near me
Blessing me, holding and surrounding
Me
When trouble begins
Blessing me, Jesus, He comes
He blesses with power and mercy
To save and to hold me
Redeeming, with mercy to be
The God who forgives and
Watches over me
Blessing me, loving and graciously
Being the goodness and hope
He brings within me when I
Call on His name
Jesus, Jesus the God of
All mercy and joy fills my soul
To believe forever in His wonderful
Promises He brings to me
Believing, rejoicing in His name
Forever
Holding and filling my soul
With His love
