lyrics

Presence of God
by Paul Gerard

Sitting in the presence of God – under a tall, tall tree
Swaying with the movement of wind – bringing my heart to its knees

Here is a being 2,000 years old
I can’t imagine the stories it holds
How many have wandered below, here in the presence of God…

Sitting in the presence of God – under a high waterfall
A river running down through the air – from a soaring mountain wall

Here is the water that quenches our thirst
Here is the water that christens our birth
Here is the love that blesses the earth: here is the presence of God…

Ah… ah…

Sitting in the presence of God – here is my lover’s gaze
Living in this moment of love – may it last all my days

Here is the one to have and to hold
Here is the love that fills up my soul
Here is the one, great mystery of all: here is the presence of God…

If I could wander the whole universe
If I could pass between heaven and earth
I would return to the love I knew first: here in the presence of God…

Ah… ah…
