How lovely is your presence, O LORD of hosts! My soul longs for you and desires to feel your presence.. my heart and flesh sing for joy to the living God.
The sparrow finds a home.. the swallow a nest.. even so I am at home in your presence Lord.. my hearts soars when I feel you close.
Blessed are those who dwell in your presence.. ever singing your praise!
Blessed are those whose strength is in you.. whose heart has found a path to heaven.. who's souls are drenched with God.
Blessed are they that go from strength to strength.. who experience your compassionate touch and receive grace for another day.
O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer; give ear, O God of our inheritance!
You are our shield, O God.. you have anointed us with your Spirit.. we sense your presence in our heart.
A day in your presence is better than a thousand elsewhere. I would rather be a servant in your kingdom than live from fleshly desires.
You LORD are God.. you give me light and protection.. you give me all I need.. no good thing do you withhold from your children.
O LORD of hosts.. blessed is the one who trusts in you!
Amen
