A Priceless Presence...


What waits today to spill and fill its shell
We cannot see...


But He who feeds the birds knows it full-well
He cares for you and me






God is our refuge and strength, 
a very present help in trouble.

Lord, take the lead, our need is great and we are prone to dread
Help us to trust, not be afraid; you know what lies ahead
Draw nearer than the fears that be, sustain us through Your Word
Through eyes of faith help us to see Your Presence undergird

Lord, take our hands, You love us so and know that we are dust
By Your command cast out the foe that heckles hope and trust
And help us humbly fix our gaze on Your unfailing care
Fill our hearts with holy praise and fully yielded prayer

Lord, take us not from our cross but let the cross endear
The bond of fellowship that draws Your flawless favors near
To cheer us on toward the joy this world cannot afford
Lead us with grace and truth’s alloy into Your Presence, Lord
