When I linger in Your presence,
All my wants and wishes cease.
From the toiling of a long day
Comes refreshing, comes release.
Gone the little disappointments
And the things which brought me pain.
In Your presence I find solace,
Strength to cope when hope seems vain.
You're aware of every struggle
From my doubts You set me free,
And the time becomes more precious
Which I spend on bended knee.
