Near by Travis Greene Lyrics
Everywhere that I go,
You are always with me
At the top or my lowest,
You’re closer than close Lord
You’re never too far from me
No You’re never too far from me
You’re just one worship away
You were right when I left, still our grace pursues me
In the night, You still cover me when I fall
Lord you’re never too far from me
No you’re never too far from me
You’re just one worship away
One worship away
CHORUS
You’re not a man who would lie to me
You’ll never leave
There’s no need to fear
When you are near
To the broken, there is always
A door open for You
There’s no need to fear
When you are
Not a man who would lie to me
You’ll never leave
There’s no need to fear
You are near
To the broken there is always
A door open for You
There’s no need to fear
When you are near
BRIDGE
You are closer than close
There is no distance with us
My heart is yours
And you are closer than close
There is no distance with us
I am yours
You are closer than close
There is no distance with us
My Heart is yours
You are closer than close
There is no distance with us
I am yours and you are
CHORUS
Not a man who would lie to me
You’ll never leave
There’s no need to fear
You are near
To the broken there is always
A door open for You
No need to fear
BRIDGE
You are closer than close
There is no distance with us
My heart is yours
And you are closer than close
There is no distance with us
I am yours
And you are closer than close
There is no distance with us
Heart is yours
You are closer than close
There is no distance with us
I am yours and you are
CHORUS
Not a man who would lie to me
You’ll never leave
There’s no need to fear
When You are near
To the broken there is always
A word spoken from You
There’s no need to fear
You are near
