Perto do Senhor

Near you I long to be,
Near, yes, very near;
To enjoy your presence,
Near, yes, very near.
Near you to understand
Your great love and your will,
How to walk with you, live,
Near, yes, very near. (repeat)

Near you in prayer,
Near, yes, very near;
The heart is refreshed,
Near, yes, very near;
Perfect joy overflowing,
Views of glory and ecstasy,
Blessed to be with you,
Near, yes, very near. (repeat)

To be in communion with you,
Near, yes, very near;
Always talk with you,
Near, yes, very near;
To discern your will,
I want to hear your good teachings,
To love and serve you better,
Near, yes, very near. (repeat)

I want to be in the holy war,
Near, yes, very near;
To uphold your banner,
Near, yes, very near;
To manifest your love,
Your power and your favor,
Grace, forgiveness to the sinner,
Near, yes, very near.
