In these days of uncertainty and stress, there's a place where we can find confidence and peace. God's Word tells us, in
Psalm 27, "For in the day of trouble He will keep me safe... He will hide me... shelter me... and set me high upon a rock.... He
will not reject me or forsake me." Our hope is that the words of this song, and the uplifting melody will make it possible for
you, like the Psalmist, to "... sing and make music to the LORD." ... no matter what may come! Rick - May 9, 2003

(Introduction for 8 measures)
(Verse 1)
You are the light of life
the one who saves me
and frees me from all fear
I trust in Your love, Lord God of Power and might
For You are always near
(Chorus)
There's one thing I ask
There's one thing I pray
There's one thing that I am longing for
To be closer to You
With each passing day
until I can see Your beauty Lord
(Verse 2)
You are my strength, O Lord
A shield around me
My help in time of need
I won't be afraid, no matter what may come
For You'll never leave me
(Repeat Chorus)
There's one thing I ask
There's one thing I pray
There's one thing that I am longing for
To be closer to You
With each passing day
until I can see Your beauty Lord
(Bridge)
My soul wants to fly
My heart's overflowing with joy
A joy that will not fade away
For You've heard my cry
You'll never turn me away
You'll never leave me, Lord
(Piano Solo)
(Repeat Chorus Two Times)
There's one thing I ask
There's one thing I pray
There's one thing that I am longing for
To be closer to You
With each passing day
until I can see Your beauty Lord
(Ending)
There's one thing I ask
(To see Your beauty Lord)
There's one thing I pray
(To see Your beauty Lord)
