Before Your Presence

Comes to us our battles long
We give our lives to you in song
The path ahead may seem unclear
But by your Hand, you calm our fear

We strive to make the best come true
With all the things we work to do
Yet the clouds grow dark to rain
We bend our knees and spill our pain

Lord we pray our sickness heal
To Your mighty power appeal
That by your hand, you may restore
Our health, and hope, and more

When our upward cries by You’ve been heard
Your Promise kept springs from the Word
Your Spirit in our hearts does flow
Your Peace comes in and lets us know

Your Hand is on us all through the night
The Eye of God sees our plight
Your plans for us they never fail
And through the dark, we shall prevail

So give us now, since our prayers are heard
The very courage from your Word
To stay the course through our night
And to daily fight the fight

For when all times have come and gone
And you have brought us to your throne
We will see with clearer eye
The When, the How, the Why

Of the battles we did face
Ever needing your deep Grace
And the treasures that shall last
Before your majesty be cast

So thank you Lord for the battle here
One day you shall make clear
The Things you built inside our heart
Are of a value that shall never part
