Presence Petition

Tune: Heinlein

(\'40 days and 40 nights\')

Psalm 69 v.29-36

********

I am poor, sorrowful be

Let your salvation to me

Come, O God, set me on high

May I feel your presence nigh

 

I will praise God\'s name with song

Praise with song both short and long

I Him too will magnify

With thanksgiving, this my cry

 

This shall please the Lord better

Than sacrifice, law\'s letter

The humble shall see, be glad

Shall no more be downcast, sad

 

Your heart shall live, you who seek

God, revealed to humble, meek

For the Lord does hear the poor

Shall help them faithful for sure

 

The Lord He does not despise

His prisoners, them espies

Let heaven, earth, seas, all praise

Him, and to Him worship raise

 

For God He will save Zion

Rebuild cities, shall be done

Judah restored it shall be

And His people dwell there free

 

They shall possess the land there

Descendants in it shall share

They that love His name shall dwell

Therein, and His goodness tell
