Only in Your Presence

Richard Shekari

Only in Your Presence

Chorus:
You comfort my soul,
Like a river where my roots are fed.
You sustain my soul,
Beneath Your wings, O Lord, my peace is spread.

Verse 1:
I walk through valleys where flowers bloom,
Yet beauty fades when I can’t feel You.
The laughter fades, the sunlight lies,
If You withdraw, my spirit dies.

I’m like a man, but just a child,
Longing for You with hunger wild.
This world is loud, but still I cry,
Lord, if You’re not near, then let me die.Chorus

Verse 2:
Take me away, Lord, if You will,
To that high place where hearts are still.
Among the saints, let me rejoice,
To praise You with a newborn’s voice.
I need no gold, I seek no throne,
Your holy nearness is my home.
An infant clings, and so do I,
To You, my milk, my lullaby. Chorus
