His Presence

In the presence of the Lord I fall prostrate before Him He comes close and I hide myself in shame Trembling with fear of my past He reaches down and touches me I feel Him throughout my body He searches every room of my heart Nothing is hidden from Him He reaches into the darkest of corners As I cry in sorrow for my sins He washes each spot away When He completely washes me in love Only brightness can be seen For all my faults and failures are no longer He has made me whole By Him and through Him I am made new I cherish that touch Tho it came with discomfort For by that loving touch and it alone I am made in His perfect image
