Whom have I in heaven
But You, God?
And there is none on earth I desire beside You, Lord
My flesh and my heart may fail
But you are my strength and my portion forever

I want to be near you, God
I have to be near you, Lord
I want to be near you, Father
I have to be near you, God

Hear the cry
Of my heart, Lord
I want to be near you, God
I want to be near you, Lord
The place your glory dwells
The place your glory dwells
There's nowhere else I'd rather be than in your presence God
And face to face with the King of Kings and Lord of Lords
I want to be near you, God
Oh, I have to be near you
Oh, I want to be near you, Lord

I want to be near you, God
I have to be near you, God
Nothing else can satisfy
I want to be near you, Lord
More than ever before
Oh, I want to be near you, Jesus
You're everything that I desire
You're everything that I desire, God
No one else is captivating my attention or my affection, Lord
You alone have my heart
I want to be near you, Lord
Oh, I have to be near you, Lord
Nothing else can satisfy the deepest longings
and desires of the heart of your Son oh God

I want to be near you, Lord
Oh, I have to be near you, Lord
Oh, I draw near to you this hour to call
Oh, I draw near to you with my heart, with my mind, with my strength, with my weakness, God
With my success as my failures, Lord
Everything I am, I bring it to you, God
I just wanna be near you, Lord
I just wanna be near you, God
Yeah

I wanna be near you, Lord
I want to be near you, Lord
Oh, I wanna be near you
