Please Come Close to Me

“Call on Me in the day of distress! I shall save you, and you shall glorify Me.” (Psalms 50:15)

O Jesus, come quickly, stay by my side,
Save my soul, in Your love I’ll abide.
Around me the storms rise, hindering my way,
Keeping me from drawing near You today.

O Jesus, come swiftly, comfort my heart,
With words of peace, let fear depart.
No longer my spirit will tremble in fright,
I’ll rest secure, in Your wings of might.

You give me peace through the raging storm,
Guide my steps, keep me safe and warm.
You lift me high over mountains steep,
True peace is mine, when Your refuge I seek.

O Jesus, please always be by my side,
Shelter me, in Your love I’ll confide.
I’ll trust in You forevermore,
Living in joy, by Your side evermore.

The translation of the lyric into English:
Please Come Close to Me

Dear Jesus, please come quickly to me,
Save my soul, cover me.
All around me, storms are rising,
Hindering my way, keeping me from You.

Dear Jesus, please come quickly to me,
Comfort me, advise me.
Let my soul no longer tremble in fear,
At peace now, sheltered in Your wings.

You grant me peace, even in the storms.
You lead me, guiding my steps through the deep valleys.
You lift me over the mountains blocking my way.
True peace fills my life
When I take refuge in You.

Dear Jesus, please always stay by my side,
Protecting me, leading me.
I entrust myself to Jesus for eternity,
Forever content, living beside You.
