In God's Presence

In God’s presence* is great delight that glows midst blissful prayer plight… exposed to His abounding grace my faith soars for ministry flight. I run with patience through life’s race anchored upon the Lord’s truth-brace while yielded to His might, so blest forward trekking at freedom pace. To seek Christ’s smile despite harsh test my heart remains in haven’s nest settled safe midst love’s divine seal smiting vain greed and selfish zest. Propelled by Saviour’s kindness-deal upward ascends my will with zeal against trials’ painful demand to serve, hearing His cheering peal. I cling to the Almighty’s hand in my journey for promised land steadfast along praise-filled worship to share His gift, sublimely grand.
