Never Far Away

Oleta Adams

Today as I went walking
I looked around carefully
at the things people worship, as their deity
Things they do to their bodies
That eats away at their minds
They want a Garden of Eden
But it’s a place they’ll never find
    
The idle things we worship
This is I proclaim to you, that
The God who made everything
Is the One I take my troubles to
And if you search for Him
He is never, never far from you
    
He’s not a part of my imagination,
Nor made by human hands
He gives life and breath to every one
I’m just trying to make you understand
In Him we live and move and have our being
I heard the Scripture say
That the Lord has been patient
But He’s coming one day
And if you search for Him
He’s never far away
    
We live our lives to the limit
And lost our innocence
The Lord commands everybody
To humbles themselves and repent
But the One they crucified
That was raise up from the dead
Will judge the world in righteousness
He’s coming just like He said
    
And if you search for Him
And grope, for Him,
You will find Him
He is never, fa-aaaarr, far away
Yea-eah…eah
Oooh OOo never far away
Ohhhh, Ooooh
He is never, faaaarr..aarr
He is never, no, no, no, no
    
Say the Lord is coming back one day
Yes He is
The Lord is never, never, never faaaarr away, Oh no
You can search for Him
You can call on Him
And grope for Him
Heeeeeeee…..
You will fin….d Him
Never, never, never, never, far away
Come now I know
    
Said if you asked
and search,
and grope,
Oh the Lord is never far away
Ooo
    
No, the Lord has been patient, yes He has
He’s coming back one day…
