Never Far Away (Vocals)
Lyrics
**Verse 1**
Some days I thought I pleased You
Some days I thought I failed
One morning I felt close to You
By evening, far away
I measured every feeling
And graded every day
Then ran another lap around
The same old track of shame
**Pre-Chorus**
But You were never moving
You never turned away
The distance lived inside my thoughts
Not in Your faithful grace
**Chorus**
I’m never far away
You live inside of me
I’m not climbing up to reach You
You have made Your home in me
Victory is not my effort
Trying harder every day
It is Jesus living through me
And I’m never far away
**Verse 2**
The flesh can look rebellious
Or wear religious clothes
It can serve for recognition
So that everybody knows
But neither pride nor failure
Can become my victory
Only Christ within His children
Living through dependency
**Pre-Chorus**
No performance brings You nearer
No mistake can make You leave
You have joined Your life forever
To the one who has believed
**Chorus**
I’m never far away
You live inside of me
I’m not climbing up to reach You
You have made Your home in me
Victory is not my effort
Trying harder every day
It is Jesus living through me
And I’m never far away
**Bridge**
You are not asking for an image
You are drawing me to You
The victorious Christian life
Is Your life coming through
Your resources are endless
Mine were never meant to be
So I rest in Your sufficiency
And let You live through me
**Final Chorus**
I’m never far away
You live inside of me
No performance brings You nearer
No failure makes You leave
Victory is joyful freedom
From the strength I used to praise
It is Jesus living through me
And I’m never far away
**Outro**
Christ in me is victory
And I’m never far away
