My Soul Wishes To Be In God's Presence

God’s presence in my life daily is my soul's utmost desire Such assures me of His love that’s always on fire Caring and comforting me as His compassions require Every time I wake up, till even when at night, I retire. Peace I pray to reign over my soul in God’s presence surely As His forgiven child by faith in Christ truly His calmness conquers my fearful heart sweetly Every time harsh crises surround me tremendously. In God’s presence is where my soul finds freedom indeed Fellowshipping with Him, unmindful of time to exceed While I trust Him earnestly to meet my need Every time I seek Him so my spirit He can feed. Joy wraps my soul in God’s presence toward eternity Dispelling my thoughts of anguish and anxiety His bliss envelops me with His warm security Every time He fills me with His gladness’ certainty. Divine guidance in God’s presence keeps my soul settled He leads me to His authority where I’m safely handled His wisdom directs me against being deceived and rattled Every time I entrust my weary mind that’s embattled. Holy pursuits hedge my soul around God’s presence* Away from Him, my goals will have no value or sense I need His standards to push me toward noble persistence Every time worldliness pulls me down by its alluring insistence. Victory awaits my soul in God’s presence thru His power That prods me forward in my service as His called sower To bear fruits yielded by my sacrifices blooming as a flower Every time He rains blessings to me from His heavenly tower. *1Chronicles 16:27 Glory and honour are in his (GOD's) presence; strength and gladness are in his place.
