Thy presence is a comfort to my soul.
The sound of Thy voice my heart delights in.
To only sit and be near you,
To hear every utterance
No matter how simple.
To follow after Thee
Step for step.
I follow Thee
To be completely one
With you.
Is all my heart’s desire
To bear all Thy burden
That I can.
To lighten Thy load
And give Thee joy on the journey.
A hand to hold.
A heart to love
And to receive any gift of love
In return,
Whether crumbs from the table
Or sitting alongside Thee
At the feast.
As long as I can feel Thee near
It matters not to me.
For I love Thee
With all my soul.
And this love only grows deeper
As the ages of time pass by.
My whole soul needs Thee
Just as Thou art,
No demands or expectations.
Filled with joy and delight,
Comfort and peace,
Just to know
Thou art aware of me,
Fully aware of me,
And that Thy love is constant and unyielding,
True.
Embraced and encircled
Always
In the arms of Thy love.
Blissful heaven.
Oh may I bask in the glory
Of Thy presence
Forevermore.
