Already Near

Already Near is an upbeat gospel-country worship song celebrating the freedom that comes from Christ’s finished work. It proclaims that we don’t have to climb, earn, or strive to reach God—because Jesus tore the veil, paid the debt, and brought us near by His blood. Joyful, rootsy, and full of gospel assurance, the song turns prayer from burden into celebration.

Lyrics

Verse 1
I don’t wake up to climb a hill,
I don’t pray to prove my will.
The veil is torn, the work is done,
The Father sees me in the Son.

Pre-Chorus
Every striving, every fear,
Falls away — You’ve brought me near.

Chorus
I don’t have to climb, You came down to me,
Through the cross and the grave, love has set me free.
I don’t have to earn, Christ has paid it all,
By His blood I am welcomed, I can hear You call.

Verse 2
Not my record, not my name,
But Jesus bore my sin and shame.
Now I stand before Your throne,
Covered, kept, and not my own.

Pre-Chorus
Every burden, every weight,
Laid on Christ, my perfect place.

Chorus
I don’t have to climb, You came down to me,
Through the cross and the grave, love has set me free.
I don’t have to earn, Christ has paid it all,
By His blood I am welcomed, I can hear You call.

Bridge
Nothing left to do—  (Jesus, You’ve done it all!)
Nothing left to prove— (Your grace will never fall!)
Nothing can divide— (I’m hidden in Your love!)
Forever I will rest in what You’ve already done!

Final Chorus
I don’t have to climb, You came down to me,
Through the cross and the grave, love has set me free.
I don’t have to earn, Christ has paid it all,
By His blood I am welcomed, I can hear You call.

By His blood I am welcomed,
By His grace I am home.
By His blood I am welcomed,
By His grace I am home.
