Need To Be Near

Verse:
                      Eb
When no mountaintop gives me a clear view
                         Ab
And there’s noise too loud for me to hear through
    Cm
Nothing brings You closer than my tears do
   Ab                            Eb
Lord, I need to be near You

Chorus:
                  Ab                      Eb
I don’t need a fix to my problem
                  Ab                              Eb
I don’t need an answer when I ask
                   Ab                                 Eb
I don’t need to know about my future
                          Cm                               Ab
And I don’t need to understand my past
  Ab                        Eb
Lord, I need to near You

Verse 2:
                     Eb
When the suffering is on my doorstep
                  Ab
And I’m crippled by all of my regrets
             Cm
I’m praying that You never let me forget
            Ab                                 Eb
That Lord, and I need to be near You

2 Chorus:
                  Ab                                Eb
I don’t need my heart to be unbroken
                        Ab                                Eb
And I don’t need to get what I don’t have
                 Ab                                Eb
I don’t need the door I want to open
                         Cm                             Ab
And I don’t need my hurt to heal fast
  Ab                             Eb
Lord, I need to be near You

Verse 3:
                    Eb
And when I wake up to find a new day
                   Ab
And the sun is shining down on my face
          Cm
And I start thinking that I’m okay
   Ab                           Eb
Lord, I need to be near You

3 Chorus:
                 Ab                            Eb
I don’t need applause or approval
                  Ab                                 Eb
I don’t need the world to know name
                  Ab                             Eb
I don’t need any gold or any silver
                          Cm                                Ab
And I don’t need to rest in my own strength
Ab                              Cm
Lord, I need to be near You
 Ab                              Eb
Lord, I need to be near You
