THE LORD IS CLOSE TO THE BROKEN HEARTED,
The ones who feel crushed,
His ears attentive to our cries,
He will deliver us.
We’ll draw near, seek Your face
In the sun, in the rain.
Upon our lips will be Your praise,
We’ll rejoice in these days.
You’ve opened up my eyes,
I’ve seen You, Lord and You are good.
We look to You, You uncover our face
And take away our shame.
We seek You, Lord, You answer us
And take away our fears.
