[Verse 1] I bring my tired hands I bring the pieces I do not understand You breathe over tangled thoughts You call this restless mind to stillness [Chorus] You are near to my heart Near when I run Near when I crawl to Your feet again You are near to my heart Near when I fail Near when I stand in Your open arms [Verse 2] I hear Your ancient words They move through my ordinary day You write a steady truth Across the anger and the aching [Chorus] You are near to my heart Near when I run Near when I crawl to Your feet again You are near to my heart Near when I fail Near when I stand in Your open arms [Bridge] Your mercy does not turn away Your kindness does not lose its patience Your promise does not come undone Your love does not let go [Chorus] You are near to my heart Near when I run Near when I crawl to Your feet again You are near to my heart Near when I fail Near when I stand in Your open arms
