When You Are Near - Psalm 16:8-11

As per a few requests, I will be posting the chord charts for our Messianic Psalms songs, "The Gospel According to the Psalms." The audio can be found on our Facebook 'fan' page. This particular song has audio posted twice: once as a single practice session, and then included in the 3 part live recording of our Hudson, MI concert. We will be releasing a recording of these songs early next year (2010), Lord willing.

[Verse 1]

When anxious thoughts disturb my sleep
. --C#dim --------------E9-------A9

I look to you my living priest

and rest in hope, for you are near

[Chorus]
. E ---------------C#dim
O Love Divine! You stooped to share

My sharpest pains, my bitterest tear,

I bring to You my earthly care,

and all is well, all is well

[Verse 2]
. ---C#dim ------------E9
When threatened by the darkest day,
. --C#dim ------------E9 -----A9
the thought of You dispels my fear.

Though all the world assaults my way

still all is well, when You are near

[Verse 3]

My waiting heart expects to hear

Arise my child!

Arise my child I conquered death

and all is well,

all is well, for I am near
