Abiding In His Presence

The wise man knows God's presence,
And there he takes up residence.
He finds his joy and strength there
Through relationship and prayer.

In times of trial and terror,
And in failure or in error,
He may be jarred or shaken
But he won't be overtaken.

Because he always is "tuned in"
Challenges won't make him "spin".
In his faith he is well-founded,
And in God's Word he is grounded.

"Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice. My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me."
Psalm 63:7-8 KJV
