A Priceless Presence...

What waits today to spill and fill its shellWe cannot see... knows it full-wellHe cares for you and me God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.:1 Lord, take the lead, our need is great and we are prone to dreadHelp us to trust, not be afraid; you know what lies aheadDraw nearer than the fears that be, sustain us through Your WordThrough eyes of faith help us to see Your Presence undergird Lord, take our hands, You love us so and know that we are dustBy Your command cast out the foe that heckles hope and trustAnd help us humbly fix our gaze on Your unfailing careFill our hearts with holy praise and fully yielded prayer Lord, take us not from our cross but let the cross endearThe bond of fellowship that draws Your flawless favors nearTo cheer us on toward the joy this world cannot affordLead us with grace and truth’s alloy into Your Presence, Lord © Janet Martin
