Perpetual Presence

orchidee



Tune: Melcombe

('New every morning is the love')

Psalm 73 v.23-28

*******

I am continually with you

Lord, you hold me by my hand. true

You shall me with your counsel guide

I find there no wiser beside

 

And afterwards you shall receive

Me up unto your high glory

Whom have I in heaven but you?

On earth I desire none but you

 

My flesh and heart they may me fail

But God's strength does to me prevail

Strength of my heart, my portion e'er

I am without your presence ne'er

 

It is good for me to draw near

To God, put my trust in Him here

So I may all His works declare

Each good thing He with us does share

        Perceptual presence is what the government proposes. I need a little privacy. A great write Orchi.
