Far and Near

Jennifer Martin

I am miles and miles away from you
Heeding a call I’ve been called to
It doesn’t mean I don’t think of you
And miss you, I miss you.

It’s not a path I would have chosen
But I’ve been prayerful, and I’ve been open
Just to be in my Father’s will,
For now, it’s here
So far from there
But here’s my prayer
For you…

Chorus:
May you always know a Father’s love
May He fix your eyes on things above
May you always know His constant care
And while I’m away, may you be aware
Though I’m far, I’m still near, to you.

Every call comes with a sacrifice
I’ve weighed it all
It’s worth the price
To glorify the Father and His Son,
For now, from here
So far from there
But here’s my prayer
For you…
