In Your Presence

 

Your voice seems so silent from time to time.

Yet you ever  speak clearly to those who would bend

For even in silence your mighty voice

Falls on the ears that hear and attend.

 

In your presence…in your presence…

 

When you open the eyes of our heart…

Work out your purpose  for we want your best

There is no other way of which we want a part

There’s no satisfaction in anything less..

 

In your presence…in your presence…

 

All that we do will be as unto you

Whether we eat or whether we drink

Or whether we move or whether we think

We’ll take all thoughts captive to the cause of Christ…

 

In your presence is the blessedness we seek

For you and you alone are our portion and way

In your holy presence is fullness of joy

In your holy presence we want to stay…

 

In your presence…in your presence…
