The Nearness of God (Psalm 73)

My God is the strength of my weary heart The only support of my troubled life My portion forever, my soul sings out The nearness of the Lord is my good My feet had nearly stumbled from the path of life I coveted the ways of those who walk in pride Secure in their riches, I envied their ease Till the light shone down upon me When I came into Your presence I perceived their end They build their lavish mansions on the shifting sand By turmoil and trouble they're soon swept away But the Lord is my rock and refuge My God is the strength of my weary heart The only support of my troubled life My portion forever, my soul sings out The nearness of the Lord is my good O whom have I in heaven but the Lord my God And here on earth there's nothing else that I desire My spirit may falter, my body may fail But the Lord is my solid treasure My God is the strength of my weary heart The only support of my troubled life My portion forever, my soul sings out The nearness of the Lord My God is the strength of my weary heart The only support of my troubled life My portion forever, my soul sings out The nearness of God is my good The nearness of the Lord is my good The nearness of God is my good
