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.
*Psalm 100:2 Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing.
