In His Presence

When the ship of life is tossed and turned
And I've done my selfish will
I wonder if He'll see my ply
And whisper peace be still.
Tears of gladness fill my eyes
When He reaches down for me
Till the billows have been surrendered
It's worth everything to me

In His presence, In His presence
I know He'll dry my tears according to His word
And I feel His mercy, gently surround me
Oh it's peaceful in the presence of the Lord

When He looks across this troubled land,
full of madness and despair
When He sees His wayward children
turn aside without a care
Jerusalem, Oh Jerusalem
Oft would I gather thee
In the safety of the kingdom
But you turned away from me.

In His presence, In His presence
I know He'll dry my tears according to His word
And I feel His mercy, gently surround me
Oh it's peaceful in the presence of the Lord

Oh its peaceful in the presence of the Lord, of the Lord.
