Lord It’s Not for What You Give Me 211

I sat on the hillside 

Looking out over the wilderness 

I longed for sweet fellowship

With my father whom I love 

I have been in battles all week long 

Fighting in the ministry 

Fighting for the kingdom of God 

It left me feeling dry and uncertain 

Oh Oh 

Oh Oh 

 

O Lord it’s not for what you give me 

Or all the things you do for me 

But for the feeling of being near you 

O Lord it’s not for what you give me 

Or all the things you do for me 

But for the feeling of being near you 

 

I just wanna be close to you, close to you Lord 

That’s why I am working so hard and so long 

To serve you that I might be 

Chosen to be near you 

To feel you To see you 

Oh Oh 

Oh Oh 

 

Now I feel so weak 

Hunger is coming on me in ways 

I feel so dry 

I feel so sad 

So much pressure in my life and ministry 

How I long to be free 

Of these earthly feelings 

Od discouragement 

And uncertainty ah yeah 

Oh Oh 

Oh Oh 

 

O Lord it’s not for what you give me 

Or all the things you do for me 

But for the feeling of being near you 

O Lord it’s not for what you give me 

Or all the things you do for me 

But for the feeling of being near you 

 

I just wanna be close to you, close to you Lord 

That’s why I am working so hard and so long 

To serve you that I might be 

Chosen to be near you 

To feel you To see you 

Oh Oh 

Oh Oh 

 

Interlude 

 

Now I’m going through these tests 

Tests of my life and ministry 

It’s so hard to experience the opposite 

Of what you expect to receive 

You’ve prayed so much yet it seems 

That God does not answer 

I know that your spirit is with me 

 But I long to behold my fathers face 

Oh Oh 

Oh Oh 

 

O Lord it’s not for what you give me 

Or all the things you do for me 

But for the feeling of being near you 

O Lord it’s not for what you give me 

Or all the things you do for me 

But for the feeling of being near you 

 

I just wanna be close to you, close to you Lord 

That’s why I am working so hard and so long 

To serve you that I might be 

Chosen to be near you 

To feel you To see you 

 

I just wanna be close to you, close to you Lord 

That’s why I am working so hard and so long 

To serve you that I might be 

Chosen to be near you 

To feel you To see you 

Oh Oh 

 

O Lord it’s not for what you give me 

Or all the things you do for me 

But for the feeling of being near you 

O Lord it’s not for what you give me 

Or all the things you do for me 

But for the feeling of being near you 

 

I just wanna be close to you, close to you Lord 

That’s why I am working so hard and so long 

To serve you that I might be 

Chosen to be near you 

To feel you To see you 

 

I just wanna be close to you, close to you Lord ( Oh Oh )

That’s why I am working so hard and so long ( Oh Oh )

To serve you that I might be ( Oh Oh )

Chosen to be near you 

To feel you To see you 

Oh Oh 

 

It’s not for what you give me Oh Oh 

 

It’s not for what you give me Oh Oh 

 

It’s not for what you give me Oh Oh
