I love the words to this song. This song reminds me of the verse:
Deuteronomy 31:6
Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”
Oh Lord I come with heart here open,
For in my hour of darkness I may be.
Seeking the joy of love unspoken
Oh Lord be Thou near to me.
And the holy voices sing “Hallelu!”
Ever will Thy reign be.
As I wander through this life,
Oh Lord, be Thou near to me.
Though In this burden of my making
Yet in the shadows still a light I see
Maker whose love is not forsaking
Oh Lord be Thou near to me
And the holy voices sing “Hallelu!”
Ever will Thy reign be.
As I wander through this life,
Oh Lord, be Thou near to me.
And the holy voices sing “Hallelu!”
Ever will Thy reign be.
As I wander through this life,
Oh Lord, be Thou near to me.
Oh Lord,
Be Thou near to me.

Deuteronomy 31:6 is a special verse to me. Back in 1988, when I was 18, I went on a summer mission trip to Eastern Europe. Communism was still going on that year and we were all nervous about traveling and ministering behind the Iron Curtain. I made up a little tune to help me memorize this song and I sang it a lot on that trip.
Seems to be a common thread today…drawing near to God!
That is a beautiful song. It is so fun to see new songs!
