“Yet I am always with You;
You hold me by my right hand.
You guide me according to Your purpose,
and afterward You will receive me into glory.”
Verse 1
Where could I go from Your Spirit?
Where could I flee from Your presence, Lord?
If I ascend to the heavens, You are there;
if I descend into the depths, You are there as well.
When I feel abandoned and alone,
Your hand upholds me with tenderness and love;
when I think that hope is fading away,
Your light rekindles my heart once more.
“If I take the wings of the dawn
and dwell at the farthest reaches of the sea,
even there Your hand will guide me.”
The Lord is near to the brokenhearted;
He comforts those who weep and strengthens the weary.
He knows the wounds no one else can see,
and restores hope to those who believe again.
You are not alone in your struggle;
you are not alone in your pain.
Christ never leaves your side,
holding you securely in His love.
“The Lord is near to the brokenhearted
and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”
Chorus
The presence of God is here,
lighting my path through the darkness;
the presence of God is here,
sustaining my soul with unfailing faithfulness.
Nothing can separate me from His love
not trial, nor fear, nor pain;
for Christ lives and reigns forever,
and His Holy Spirit dwells within me.
Verse 2
If storms cloud your pathway,
and you cannot understand the Lord’s ways,
never lose your trust in Him,
nor let your love grow cold.
Believe and do not doubt He is still at work,
even when you cannot understand;
if you remain steadfast in faith and hope,
you shall behold the glory of God.
“Did I not tell you that if you believe,
you will see the glory of God?”
Chorus
The presence of God is here,
lighting my path through the darkness;
the presence of God is here,
sustaining my soul with unfailing faithfulness.
Nothing can separate me from His love
not trial, nor fear, nor pain;
for Christ lives and reigns forever,
and His Holy Spirit dwells within me.
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?
Shall trouble, distress, or suffering?
Shall persecution, famine, or danger?
Nothing can ever separate us from His love!
Neither death nor life,
neither the present nor the future,
neither height nor depth,
nor any created thing shall ever prevent
our remaining united
to the love of God our Lord,
revealed forever
in Christ Jesus, our Savior.
The presence of God is here,
lighting my path through the darkness;
the presence of God is here,
sustaining my soul with unfailing faithfulness.
Nothing can separate me from His love
not trial, nor fear, nor pain;
for Christ lives and reigns forever,
and His Holy Spirit dwells within me.
Open your heart and let Him embrace you;
open your soul and behold His goodness.
For the Lord is near to all who call upon Him,
to all who call upon Him in sincerity.
May the sorrowful find comfort,
may the weary believe again;
may those who weep discover hope,
and may those who doubt find faith.
Christ lives! Amen, Amen, Amen
