I Come Into Your Presence, Lord

I Come Into Your Presence, Lord

I come into your presence, Lord

For I know you will hear.

You’ve seen and beheld my every tear.

The people I can trust are very few,

But You’ve taught me that Your promises are true.

Lord, I look to you and come into your presence.

I come into your presence, Lord.

Confused and looking for answers only you can give.

Unable to live how you want me to live.

Scared and worried what the future may hold;

Not knowing what may happen from now ‘til I’m old.

Looking for peace

And longing for release.

Not sure how to follow you

In what you have called me to do.

Not willing to suffer or do your will;

Lord, my stubbornness I’m still begging you to kill.

You’ve called me to serve

And given me so many things I don’t deserve.

All I can do is come into  your presence, Lord.

I come into your presence, Lord.

I just cannot see

How you will work Your work through me.

I have no faith in your power,

Though I see it hour after hour.

I look at everything I can,

But can’t keep my focus on your guiding hand.

Thus, Lord, I come into your presence.

I come into your presence, Lord.

Give me eyes to focus on You,

Give me feet that do only what You want them to.

Give me wisdom; help me seek Your face.

Give me patience and help me go on through Your grace.

Help me just to trust in all you allow;

Help me to trust you when I just don’t know how!

Help me always come into your presence, Lord.
