Lyrics
At the close of a day
I take time to bow my head and pray
I give thanks to The Lord for His love
And all His blessings from above
I may not have very much
But I am thankful for His gentle touch
Tomorrow will be waiting; I'll face it with cheer
Knowing He is near
When I wake in the morning light
I bow my head and thank Him for a restful night
I thank the Lod for a new day to live
Knowing if I fall He is willing to forgive
My heart is full of knowing He is near
And if I cry He will wipe away each tear
Such a peaceful feeling; I have no fear
Knowing He is near
He, He is near; closer than a heartbreak
He, He is near; closer than a storm
He, He is near; closer than a tear drop
When I speak His name
And at the close of my life
When I bow my head for the very last time
I'll be home with The Lord that I love
I'll be glad to bow before my beloved
He'll be there; ever by my side
Walking close beside me; side by side
There at home on the peaceful shore
Knowing He is near
He, He is near; closer than a heartbreak
He, He is near; closer than a storm
He, He is near; closer than a tear drop
When I speak His name
At the close of a day
I take time to bow my head in prayer
