Be Near Me Lyrics - Imagination - Bethany Dillon

I follow all the rules 

Well, at least I'm trying 

Hoping when my days are through 

You'll be pleased 

I've lived the longest days 

Thinking my heart was so bad 

Too scared to look in your face 

Oh, if only I had 

And is it alright 

If I stay here all night 

By the shoreline? 

I cannot believe you're angry or unjust 

You've done nothing but have compassion on us 

So be near when I've given up, be near me 

I'm just like everyone else 

We are all hiding 

Acting like I have a wealth 

Of knowledge and peace 

But all I've ever wanted 

And what men have given their lives for 

Is a God who understands my weaknesses 

A God that I can love 

Is it alright 

If I stay here all night 

By the shoreline? 

I cannot believe you're angry or unjust 

You've done nothing but have compassion on us 

So be near when I've given up, be near me 

Yeah yeah yeah yeah 

And I believe you are good and righteous 

You've given me your reckless love 

So be near, be near 

Is it alright 

If I stay here all night 

By the shoreline? 

I cannot believe you're angry or unjust 

You've done nothing but have compassion on us 

I cannot believe you're angry or unjust 

You've done nothing but have compassion on us 

So be near when I've given up 

Be near me and be near me, be near me
