Lyric Be Near Me

i follow all the rules
well at least i m trying
hoping when my days are through
You will be pleased.

i ve lived the longest days
thinking my heart was so bad
too scared to look in Your face
oh, if only i had.

is it alright
if i stay here all night
by the shoreline

i cannot believe
that You are angry or unjust
You have done nothing but have compassion on us
so be near when i ve given up
be near me.

i m just like everyone else
we are all hiding
acting like i have a wealth
of knowledge and peace.

but all i ve ever wanted
and what men have given their lives for
is a God who understands my weaknesses
a God that i can love.

is it alright
if i stay here all night
by the shoreline

i cannot believe
that You are angry or unjust
You have done nothing but have compassion on us
so be near when i ve given up
be near me.

yeah, yeah
yeah

i believe You are good and righteous
You ve given me Your reckless love
so be near
be near.

is it alright
if i stay here all night
by the shoreline

i cannot believe
that You are angry or unjust
You have done nothing but have compassion on us
and i cannot believe
that You are angry or unjust
You have done nothing but have compassion on us
so be near when i ve given up
be near me
o, be near
be near me.
