Not too Far from Here - from After the Storm

Not too Far from Here
Words & Music by Ty Lacy & Steve Siler

Somebody’s down to their last dime
Somebody’s running out of time
Not too far from here
Somebody’s got nowhere else to go
Somebody needs a little hope
Not too far from here
and I may not know their names
But I’m praying just the same
That you’ll use me Lord to wipe away a tear
‘Cause somebody’s crying
Not too far from here

Somebody’s troubled and confused
Somebody’s got nothing left to lose
Not too far from here
Somebody’s forgotten how to trust
Somebody’s dying for love
Not too far from here
It may be a stranger’s face
But I’m praying for your grace
To move in me and take away the fear
‘Cause somebody’s hurting
Not too far from here

Help me Lord not to turn away from pain
Help me not to rest while those around me weep
Give me your strength and compassion
When somebody finds the road of life too steep

Now I’m letting down my guard
and I’m opening my heart
Help me speak your love to every needful ear
Jesus is waiting

I love the After the Storm CD. Not too Far from Here is a wonderful song.

Renee W., Oakdale, MN

This song speaks what I want the Lord to do in my life perfectly. I want to realize even when I’m going through pain that there are others around me who need my love and understanding. I don’t want to ever forget what those words say.

Sarah, CA

What a wonderful piece. What a beautiful message.
