Keep Me Near

Jesus keep me near to Your heart
 For outside of You I'm lost
 Draw me in the tide of Your will
 Lead me as I yield myself to You
 Keep me near Your heart
 Keep me near Your heart

 Rescue me in weakness of mind
 When distraction conquers me
 Keep me in Your shadow oh Lord
 Give me grace to follow where You lead
 Keep me near Your heart
 Keep me near Your heart

 For You are everything that is beautiful
 And You are all that I long to see in me
 You are everything that is beautiful
 Breathe Your desires in me

 Keep me in the place where You are
 For Your presence is my joy
 Break my selfish nature and pride
 Mould a life of loyalty to You
 Keep me near Your heart
 Keep me near Your heart

 Form in us a heart of divine beauty
