well this ain't the place i would rather be   i never thought i'd need You here   well it complicates when it's a tragedy   i should have known not learnt to fear   and now i feel like i'm alive   but you could never tell outside   through all the pain it seems the same   i need You, Lord      and now i've found You here   (and over and over)   i can't help drawing near   (cause You are the reason)   when everything's astray   i know You're a second away      well this shouldn't take this long to make me see   looking in mirrors gets so dim   well it's never easy to balance justice and mercy   i leave it up to Him   and now i feel like there's a prize   that i should never keep inside   You took the pain and all the shame   i feel alive         and now i've found You here   (and over and over)   i can't help drawing near   (and You are the reason)   when everything's astray   i know You're a second away      (a second away)      and now i've found You here   (and over and over)   i can't help drawing near   (and You are the reason)   when everything's astray   i know You're a second away
