One thing can always cheer me
When I’m feeling sad and low
When I tired of daily trials
That I have to undergo,
When those who should
Seem closest, seem like
People I don’t know,
One thing can always cheer me
I know that God is near me.
One thing can always cheer me
When I do not understand
How pain and sadness
In our lives
Can get so out of hand,
When the best of human efforts
Doesn’t meet the days demands,
One thing can always cheer me
I know that God is always near me.
One thing can always cheer me
More than anything I’ve known
And show me I will never
Have to struggle on my own
For no matter what might happen
I will never be alone
The thing that will always cheer me
Is just knowing God is near me.
Our lives are in God’s loving
Hands, in everything we do
He is with us constantly,
He always sees us through.
And if our faith is strong enough
We’ll never walk alone,
For with His great and perfect love
He takes care of His own.
This is, I must say, one aspect of a belief in God that makes me wish I could believe.
When people let you down, knowing that there is someone you can count on is so vital. Unfortunately, I have been through times when I was convinced that people will always let you down. I know that this is a common teaching of Christianity, or at least a common opinion of Christians.
I refuse to let myself believe that though, and I found people I could count on. Interestingly, they are all atheists.
Thank you for this beautifully encouraging poem, Georgy! It’s such a joy to know that God is always with us. Life can be such a struggle, and other people may be there for you some of the time, but God is always near. We may turn away from God, but God will never turn away from us and always loves us!
Hi, I’m Gian. And I actually turned my name into an acronym, G-od I-s A-lways N-ear. And I have just realized that there exist alot of poems and even hymns with God is always near message.
Praise God!
And oh, I hope it would be fine if I repost this in my page. I would cite this page.

The Lord is my light and my salvation;
whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the strength of my life;
of whom shall I be afraid?
