Verse 1:
I don't plead for easy tasks,
Or greater things to do.
The only thing I really ask,
Is to grow close to You.
And when the waters 'round me
Are dark and very deep,
I call to You with my whole heart,
Please bring me near to Thee, and ...

Chorus 1:
Please help --me go with You,
With You I want to stay.
And so to be ever near You
Is my only wish today,
Is my only wish today.

Verse 2:
With the things each day may bring,
And all that life may hold,
Keep me always by Your side,
Safely in Your fold.
And when the storms about me rage,
And the way's too hard to see,
Guide me gently through the dark
And bring me near to Thee, and ...

[Repeat chorus 1]

Music break: ---[Three times]

And when the waters 'round me
Are dark and very deep,
I call to You with my whole heart,
Please bring me near to Thee! Oh ...

Chorus 2:
Please help --me go with You,
With You I want to stay.
And so to be ever near You,
Is my only wish today.
Please help --me go with You,
With You I want to stay.
And so to be ever near You,
Is my only wish today,
Is my only wish, --only wish
To-day---ay. -----
