[Verse 1] I have called with my whole heart Answer me, Lord I will keep Your statutes I have called to You Save me Save me And I will obey Your testimonies I rise before the dawn and cry for help I put my hope in Your word [Pre-Chorus] Before the morning breaks Before the light comes through My voice is reaching out My hope is still in You [Chorus] You are near, Lord In the quiet night Your truth surrounds me Your word is my light You are near, Lord When I cry for help Your commandments are true And I am not by myself [Verse 2] My eyes stay open Through the watches of the night That I may meditate On the word that gives me life Hear my voice Hear my voice According to Your lovingkindness Revive me by Your ordinances Those who follow wickedness draw near But they are far from Your law [Pre-Chorus] Before the morning breaks Before the light comes through My voice is reaching out My hope is still in You [Chorus] You are near, Lord In the quiet night Your truth surrounds me Your word is my light You are near, Lord When I cry for help Your commandments are true And I am not by myself [Bridge] From long ago I have known You established them forever Your testimonies still remain Your word will not be severed They draw near with wickedness But You are nearer still Revive me in Your mercy Teach my heart Your will [Final Chorus] You are near, Lord In the quiet night Your truth surrounds me Your word is my light You are near, Lord When I cry for help Your commandments are true And I am not by myself [Outro] You are near, Lord Your commandments are true I put my hope in Your word My hope is still in You
