Lyrics

HERE AND NOW (by Camille Parkman)

Help me not to rush ahead
Help me not to miss right now
Always looking for the next thing,
Afraid I'll miss the best You have for me

Help me not to fear the path
Not just look for the easy way thru
Cause in every step I'm taking
In the going and the staying –You are here!

Christ be with me, Christ within me
Christ behind me, Christ before me
Christ beside me, here to win me
Christ to comfort and restore me
And right here and now –I find You

Do I need a better view
Just to catch a glimpse of You
Am I missing something here,
Would it all just seem more clear from somewhere else?

Is there somewhere down the road
That will finally feel like home
That I'll feel your presence stronger
No I don't have to wait any longer – You are here!

Christ be with me, Christ within me
Christ behind me, Christ before me
Christ beside me, here to win me
Christ to comfort and restore me

Christ beneath me, Christ above me
Christ in quiet, Christ in danger
You're in the hearts of –all that love me
Christ in mouth of friend and strangers
And You lead me on - -to finding You right here
And right here and now –I find You

It's not in changing what I do
Or in finding something new
It's not when I get to that place
You're always in the here and now
You're always in the here and now
