In Your presence that’s where I am strong
In Your presence O Lord my God
In Your presence that’s where I belong
Seeking Your face touching Your grace
In the cleft of the Rock
In Your presence O God
I want to go where the rivers
Cannot overflow me
Where my feet are on a Rock
I want to hide where the blazing fire
Cannot burn me
In Your presence O God
I want to hide where the flood of evil
Cannot reach me
Where I’m covered by Your blood
I want to be where the schemes of darkness
Cannot touch me
In Your presence O God
You are my firm foundation
I trust in You all day long
I am Your child and Your servant
And You are my strength and my song
You’re my song
Lynn DeShazo
