In His Presence

In the quiet of this hour,
as I kneel before you now,
I believe your promise to be faithful.
I don't always understand
what your perfect will demands,
but I've learned to trust you more
in your presence Lord.

In your presence there is comfort
In your presence there is peace
(in your presence we can find true peace)
when we seek to know your heart,
we will find such blessed a__urance
in your holy presence Lord.

There can be such sweet reward
when we wait upon the Lord!
As we take the time,
he gives his perfect wisdom,
to be found in Him alone,
all our deepest secrets known.
We're surrounded by His grace
when we seek His face.

In your presence there is comfort
In your presence there is peace
(in your presence we can find true peace)
when we seek to know your heart,
we will find such blessed a__urance
(an ever open door to know our Savior more)
in the presence of our Lord.

As this beautiful song filled the air in Railton Hall this evening it hit me...the word seek. Seek. It's a very simple basic word. The dictionary defines it as this. Seek- attempt to find...attempt or desire to obtain or achieve..search for and find someone or something.
Here is what the bible says about seeking.

But if from there you seek the LORD your God, you will find him if you look for him with all your heart and with all your soul.
1 Chronicles 16:9-11
9 Sing to him, sing praise to him; tell of all his wonderful acts. 10 Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice. 11 Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always.
1 Chronicles 22:19
Now devote your heart and soul to seeking the LORD your God. Begin to build the sanctuary of the LORD God, so that you may bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD and the sacred articles belonging to God into the temple that will be built for the Name of the LORD."
