LYRICS: (from http://www.ap0s7le.com/list/song/6621/Hilary_Weeks/Not_Too_Far_from_Here/)

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 name
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


Somebody's troubled and confused
Somebody's got nothing left to lose
Not too far from here
Somebody's forgotten how to trust
And somebody's dying for love
Not too far from here
Now I'm letting down my guard
And I'm opening my heart
Help me speak Your love to every needful ear
Someone is waiting not too far from here
Someone is waiting not too far from here

@cpsparkles12440 oh...but this isn't a catholic song. it's by an LDS artist and is found on a CD called EFY (Especially for Youth)...i don't know which year though :) every year songs are released in connection with the yearly Youth Theme :)

yes i agree, it is an amazing song. we once sang this with the young women in our ward and midway everyone was crying :)

[ufoundbethany]

I love the song... what are the chances of someone posting it with the lyrics?

[ennovythewickedwitch]

to sing along? :)

but anyway, i put the lyrics in the side bar for you. =)

[ufoundbethany]

Thanks!!! Such a beautiful message-- I thought I would share it with a friend of mine unable to hear the song...

[ennovythewickedwitch]

then i hope your friend would be able to "hear" the music through the lyrics...even not like most people do :)

thank you for the comments, enjoy =)

I always gain hope and my spirit is always uplifted everytime I hear ANY song from Hilary Weeks......

So neat to read all these positive comments. We will be privileged to have Hilary come down with the TOFW team to Australia & New Zealand at the end of July. We are so blessed to have them bring this wonderful event that we just hear everyone rave about, all the way down to our shores. Others who will be coming include Sheri Dew, Brad Wilcox, Virginia Pearce, Laurel Christensen. We are so excited, and I'm even more excited now that I've read some of your comments. She has a sense of humor huh?

@Super ... I think we can apply them by just doing as the lyrics suggest - PRAY! Pray for guidance, strength, direction, awareness, compassion; keep our eyes ever seeing, ears ever hearing and hearts ever open to the needs of those around us and when an opportunity presents itself, hopefully it will be recognized and we'll go do something about it - no questions asked. Jmho.

very nice lyrics!...the problem is how u apply them!..
