Lord, when I know you're near
When you let your presence be known
I get such a wave of comfort
And I know that I'm your own
I know that I'm your own
Through your tender loving care
I see your love for me
I see it everywhere
You created the mighty mountain
You created the vast deep sea
You made all creatures alive
And then you made me
I'm overwhelmed that I'm so significant
When I see all you've done
I'm so small in comparison
And yet man is number one
You made us for your pleasure
You made us for just you
There's nothing in the universe
That can compare with that one truth
Me, a minute dot in time
Yet you know my name
You knew me before I was born
And you'll know me forever again
My mind just can't fathom the beauty
My heart can't fathom the love
That you've shown to me and the world
When you stepped down from up above
You lived a lowly life
Inside of flesh and bone
You came from heavenly beauty
To my humble earthly home
Just to show me the way
From the lost state I was in
You came to earth as a man
So you could wash away my sin
And now you hold my hand
To make sure I don't stumble and fall
To my death
For this I don't have the words
To thank you enough
I can't describe the comfort
When I feel your loving touch
The love for you I feel inside
Could never be explained
My spirit soars with peace and joy
At the mention of your name
And when I know you're near
When you let your presence be known
I get such a wave of comfort
I know that I'm your own
