In your presence

Lord, how I long to be in Your presence
To dwell in Your loving kindness
To be seated before Your graciousness
To be justified by Your holiness
And be restored by Your mercy

But in my unworthiness I retreat
For my frame is but dust
My faith like a sieve
And the power of the world is so great
And sin abounds all around ensnarling me

And yet, You are a shield about me
You are my glory
You are the One who lifts my head
Your loving kindness never fails me

You call me to You by Your grace
With open arms through Your mercy
Come into My peace
Come into My joy
For you are my child
And My love is everlasting
