I Live in the Presence of God

Hymn 

I Live in the Presence of God 

I

 I live in the presence of God. Looking up to Him, in reliance I believe. Each person and thing we see, orchestrated by the hands of God. I live in the presence of God, yes, I live in the presence of God! I live in the presence of God, reading His word each day, thinking on the truth that lies within in light of my real state. Only in reflection can I see my true colors. Arrogant, selfish, and cunning, not like a human should be. All this has made me like Satan. I abhor my corruption, bow down to judgment, and seek to change my disposition. God's words lead me to the right path. It's God's grace! I live in the presence of God, search for His will in all things. The less conformed to man's thoughts, the more truth to be found. I live in the presence of God, yes, I live in the presence of God!

II 

We will one day be exposed as ones without truth if we complain and disobey. Only by seeking truth and the will of God can we truly see Him face to face. I live in the presence of God, constantly under His watch. His words expose and judge my actions and my thoughts. I live in the presence of God, yes, I live in the presence of God! My heart is filled with reverence. I come under God's protection, never again to offend Him. He who fears God and shuns evil is most wise. Through God's refinements, I taste His righteousness, so lovely. I practice God's words, rely on the truth, loving and obeying. I live before God, walking down the path of salvation. Disposition changed, this is the greatest of blessings! I live in the presence of God, constantly under His watch. Although judgment is painful, my sinful thoughts are quelled. I live in the presence of God, yes, I live in the presence of God, constantly under His watch. Although judgment is painful, my sinful thoughts are quelled. I live in the presence of God, yes, I live in the presence of God!
