IN THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD

“In my integrity you have upheld me,

And have set me in Your Presence forever.”

Psalm 41:12

(1)

All the searching, all the seeking

All the doing this, all the doing that

All the listening, all the learning

All the going here, all the going there

All the queries, all the study

After all is said, after all is done

There You are, sitting and waiting for me

To stop and simply BE in Your Presence.

(2)

The seed does nothing but hide itself in the earth

And there in the hidden place all that is to be done is done.

The fertilized egg who did nothing but hide in the womb

And there in the hidden place all that was to be done was done.

I am Your child who can do nothing but hide myself in Your Presence

And there in the hidden place all that is to be done will be done.

(3)

I listen to You for You are Truth

I follow You for You are the Way

I dwell in You for You are the Life

I trust in You for You are Trustworthy

You are faithful in Your Word

You are steadfast in Your love

You alone are the Shepherd of my soul

You alone are the Healer of my heart

You alone are the Lover of my life

You alone are the Wonder of my wandering.
