Christ Church Cambridge - So Near Lyrics

So near, so very near to God
No nearer can I be
For now my life is found in Christ
I am as near as he
So dear, so very dear to God
No dearer can I be
For now the love he bears to Christ
This love he bears to me

How great, how lavish is his love
That he should call me child
How vast the grace bestowed on me
A sinner reconciled
How precious are his promises
To such a soul as this
In life, in death, I rest secure
For I am wholly his

So when the weight of guilt assails
With accusation's chains
I run triumphant to the cross
Where sin no longer reigns
There is no condemnation now
For those who are in Christ
He is my Lord, my Advocate
My Saviour and my Life
