5
Your Presence
1. I long
For a quiet place, alone,
An escape from all the noise
And the chaos in my mind.
Lord, You
Are my safest place,
My fortress where I find my strength and power
In the stillness of Your voice.
Oh, nothing compares to how it feels,
Sitting in Your presence, with You here.
[Chorus]
I wanna sit in Your presence, Jesus,
And let the tears that fall wash Your feet
Because Your love, Lord, it feels like heaven.
There’s nowhere I’d rather be
Than here in Your presence.
2. I know there are times I lose my way,
Sinking in the seas of shame, until I hear You call my name.
Lord, You—You never leave me when I falter,
Always reaching in the water to pull me back in Your embrace.
So I lift my voice in praise and gratitude,
Forever kneeling here in awe of You.
[Chorus]
I wanna sit in Your presence, Jesus,
And let the tears that fall wash Your feet
Because Your love, Lord, it feels like heaven.
There’s nowhere I’d rather be
Than here in Your presence.
Oh, Your presence,
It’s like heaven, heaven to me,
Here in Your presence.
Ooo
Lord, I stand in awe of who You are.
There’s no one like You.
Nothing else compares to how it feels to just be with You.
Lord, I stand / of who You are.
Oh, You, no one like You.
Oh, no one else compares, how it feels / There’s nowhere I’d rather be.
I would stand right here, oh Lord of all! / Lord, I stand.
There’s no one like You / no one like You.
Nothing else compares, how it feels / with You.
[Chorus]
I wanna sit in Your presence, Jesus,
And let the tears that fall wash Your feet
Because Your love, Lord, it feels like heaven.
There’s nowhere I’d rather be
Than here in Your presence.
