In His Presence

By Sr. Hope Therese

I could praise and glorify your name

No words could give you your due acclaim

I could petition for something I think is best

You know what it is I want before I request

I could give to you a prayer of thanksgiving

Poor repayment for joy I have from living

I could pray for you to intercede

You know better than I what I need

I could worship and adore you in everything

I am not worthy to honor so great a king

It feels too little to offer the life I live

God always loves everything that I have to give

Faith and trust in the Lord can be enough

If you know God will help when things get rough

Give to God every single little worry and care

You can not see the future God is already there

He understands all that you are going through

He was also a human once just like you

Sometimes best friends do not have to say a word

What is on your mind has already been heard

My favorite prayer is just to be in his company

That is always the closest thing to heaven for me
