Psalm 116
5 The LORD watches over the innocent; *
I was brought very low, and he helped me.6 Turn again to your rest, O my soul, *
for the LORD has treated you well.7 For you have rescued my life from death, *
my eyes from tears, and my feet from stumbling.8 I will walk in the presence of the LORD *
in the land of the living.
Eric Clapton sings a song titled “In the Presence of the Lord” I’m looking for the lyrics to post here but I came across this hymn that according to this article on Clapton’s early life helped shape his Christian belief . I like it.
“Jesus Bids Us Shine”:
Jesus bids us shine with a clear, pure light,
Like a little candle burning in the night;
In this world of darkness, we must shine,
You in your small corner, and I in mine.
Here are the lyrics to “Presence of the Lord” from the album “Blind Faith”
I have finally found a way to live
Just like I never could before.
I know that I don’t have much to give,
But I can open any door.Everybody knows the secret,
Everybody knows the score.
I have finally found a way to live
In the color of the Lord.I have finally found a place to live
Just like I never could before.
And I know I don’t have much to give,
But soon I’ll open any door.Everybody knows the secret,
Everybody knows the score.
I have finally found a place to live
In the presence of the Lord.
In the presence of the Lord.I have finally found a way to live
Just like I never could before.
And I know I don’t have much to give,
But I can open any door.
Everybody knows the secret,
I said everybody knows the score.
I have finally found a way to live
In the color of the Lord.
In the color of the Lord.
