In Your Presence

O God, when You went forth before Your people, When You marched through the wilderness, Selah. The earth quaked; The heavens also dropped rain at the presence of God; Sinai itself quaked at the presence of God, the God of Israel. You shed abroad a plentiful rain, O God; You confirmed Your inheritance when it was parched. Your creatures settled in it; You provided in Your goodness for the poor, O God. (Psalms 68:7-10)

Lord of All, restore the strength of Your people, just as You have done from time everlasting.

Send Your rain in abundance upon my spirit, drench my heart. Let Your word rise up in me to revive me with gladness. My heart today is languishing, revive me O Lord and return to me the joy of my salvation.

Put Your song of praise in my heart that I might worship You worthily. Cleanse me Lord of all unrighteousness, make me holy before You.

It is only by Your mercy and Your grace, only by Your great and beautiful Name, that I am made worthy to seek Your face.

Let me rest in Your presence O Lord.
