IN HIS PRESENCE

Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver - 2006



When my ship of life is tossed and turned
And I've done my selfish will
I wonder if He'll see my plight
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 be

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