Close Beside

God, you’re good, i know it’s true
but it’s hard to look at you
when chaos reigns, life throws at me
more than i can stand
 

God, you see, i know it’s true
but sometimes i feel out of view
it seems you’re blind, it seems you’re deaf
it seems you have no plan

God, i hurt, you know it’s true
there’s nothing here to make me new
so i hold on, as best i can
to hope, to faith, to you

Chorus

underneath, yet close beside me
is pain (sin) i can’t outrun
but the Christ, inside abiding
is strong to overcome

Bridge

my weakness
my failure
my brokenness
your power
your victory
your holiness
