Come into His Presence <br />And be blessed by His essence; <br />He's close as we permit Him to be <br />If we realize this we can see... <br />He's been close to us ~ actually ~ <br />Being aware of Him is the key. <br /> <br />Find a quiet place to stay and pray <br />And listen to what God has to say; <br />His Joy can be ours for the asking, <br />In His Son's Love we're basking. <br /> <br />Open the heart, soul, and spirit, <br />Quiet time and silence, endear it <br />Listen as God speaks to the heart; <br />Graces and blessings He'll impart <br />From us He wants never to be apart! <br /> <br />Union with You, Lord, is our heart's desire; <br />Lift us up out of the filthy mire, <br />Forgive our sin; <br />~ Again let us begin <br />To know, love and to serve You, <br />We truly do not deserve You, <br />Nothing is anything without You; <br />To You we cleave <br />Never wanting to leave <br />Help us perceive <br />Your unconditional love <br />Straight from heaven above <br />We come into Your Presence <br />Blessed by the transcendence <br />Of Your Purest Essence, <br />O Thou Holiest Eminence. <br /> <br /> <br />© Mel Patterson,11-3-07<br /><br />Carmela Patterson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/come-into-his-presence/
