We just got back from an amazing church camp at the weekend. From the worship to the word, to the sense of unity and fellowship it was fantastic. In the worship and the word in almost every session, a common theme emerged - we need God's presence more than we realise... even when we are longing for Him.
That desire birthed this song over the course of the camp. For some time now, I'd wanted to write a chorus on His presence (and in particular references to 2 Corinthians and Psalm 16) but had long given up. For reasons I cannot explain, creativity suddenly flowed and the ideas coagulated during the camp - all I can say is glory to God! Here is the very new "Where You Are"
VERSE
Where You are, o God
There is freedom
Where You are, o God
There is joy complete
Where You are, o God
There is nowhere else
That I want to be
CHORUS
Here in Your presence
Here in Your courts, Lord
I'm satisfied
I am transformed
Here in Your presence
Here in Your courts, Lord
All I want is to worship You
BRIDGE
Let Your fire burn in me
Let Your fire burn in me
My heart longs for more of You, God
Have not yet recorded this as it is only a few days old but stay tuned! I pray these lyrics bless you... for anyone interested in sheet music this will shortly be ready so please contact me if you wish to use this in your church.
Let us, His people, long for more of Him, and be satisfied only where He is!
For His glory,
AM
