I NEED YOU NEAR.

I NEED YOU NEAR.
I'm too lonely, and l need
someone whom l trust to hear
what my heart is quite abrim,
but my friend is far from here.

Lots are prompt to give their ears,
but their tongues are sharply forked.
I'm afraid their sharpened prongs
will deform my bleeding talks.

I have none except You, Lord.
You will share my welling tears.
Your emotions will ingest
all the sorrow in my heart.

Great is life when l have You.
You absorb my pain and rue.
You imbibe my hurting woes
changing sobs to glorious pluck.
