intro
I couldn’t see You,
But I never walked alone
You were unseen, but near
verse 1
I searched the sky, but saw no sign
No thunder rolled, no voice divine
But in the stillness of my fear
You whispered softly, “Child, I’m here”
pre-chorus
No lightning flash, no parted sea
Yet peace would wrap itself ’round me
I didn’t feel, but now I see
Your quiet love surrounded me
chorus
Unseen but near, You held me close
When hope ran dry, You filled my soul
Through every doubt, through every tear
I didn’t see, but You were near
You never left, You stayed so clear
Even in silence, You were near
verse 2
When faith felt faint, and prayers were dry
You caught each tear I couldn’t cry
Though You were hidden from my sight
Your hand still led me through the night
bridge
I walked through fire
You walked beside
I faced the dark
You were the light
I lost my way
You pulled me near
You were always here
final chorus
Unseen but near, You held me close
When hope ran dry, You filled my soul
Through every doubt, through every tear
I didn’t see, but You were near
Now I believe, through every year
Even when silent, You are near
outro
You are near,
Still near,
Always near
