Near Poem by Danny Speicher

Tick, tock and with each moment life moves on
On up and above the noise of the past
The hum of past failures... Fanfares of joy
Take a hold of life... Time is fleeting, fast

Today may bring joy or sadness, severe
It may bring with it the sun or the rain
Through it all, may the All-Knowing draw nigh
In great prosperity and in great pain

Dreams, they rush into us and out of us
But, some of these dreams, thank God, they come true
But, when visions don't bring reality
Draw near to me... Help me draw near to You

Oh, while in this world, we will have trouble
Sometimes sadness or anger; loss or fear
But, hallelujah, He's conquered this world
Praise Him! For when we need Him most, He's near!

So, in everything, by diligent prayer
Present your petitions unto His throne
And peace that transcends all understanding
Will let your heart know you're never alone
