Song Description
This song is supposed to be as if God himself was talking to you. Jesus wants you to know that if you have any problem, he is near as your prayer. I lost my dad to cancer and noticed that many family members got closer to the Lord at this time. People shouldn't wait until times of tragedy to come to the Lord, just know that he is always there for you.

Lyrics
NEAR AS A PRAYER
Words and music written by Steven Oudean Ó2002
VERSE 1:
Some people only come to me on Sundays
Some people only come to me when things aren?t goin? right?Oh! No!
Some people only come on Easter
Some people only come on Christmas
Some people only come to me when a loved one of theirs dies
CHORUS:
But don?t you know I?m a God that?s always here?
Don?t you know I?m a God that?s always cares?
I?m always ready and willin? to listen
I?ve got everything you?ve been missin?
My line is always open here, I?m as near as a prayer
VERSE 2:
Some people only come to me in trouble
Some people only come to me when they?ve tried everything else?Oh! No!
Some people only come when they?re hurtin?
Or in lonely times uncertain
Some people only come to me when their whole world?s crashin? down
CHORUS:
But don?t you know I?m a God that?s always here?
Don?t you know I?m a God that?s always cares?
I?m always ready and willin? to listen
I?ve got everything you?ve been missin?
My line is always open here, I?m as near as a prayer
I?m as near as a prayer
I?m as near as a prayer
I?m as near as a prayer
