Your Presence



On this journey called life I walk without ceasing,
Ever closer each day to Your beckoning call.
I stand in Your presence as You breathe Your life in me,
And You hold me in faith so that I could not fall.
Lord, how You love me, Your grace holds me tight,
You guide me and keep me safe in Your sight.
Your arms gently hold me when the wounds are cut deep,
So that none of its evil will my hearts chamber keep.
Under Your wings am I safe ever more,
Where my spirit becomes one with the God I adore.
