'Mid the darkest scenes of life God is near! In the turmoil and the strife God is near! When the angry waves roll high And the clouds obscure the sky, Through the storms there comes a cry: God is near!
Though the dearest friend depart God is near! He can heal the broken heart, God is near! Do the tears flow thick and fast As you ponder o'er the past? There is One whose love will last, God is near!
