Psalm Sixteen Joy

Lyrics

Written by Carl Hicks Jr. / SESAC

In Your Presence

[Intro]

I don’t need noise tonight
I don’t need a crowd
I just need Your presence
To settle on me now

[Verse 1]

I came in heavy
With life on my chest
Trying to keep moving
But needing some rest

I had questions in my spirit
I didn’t know what to say
But when I felt Your presence
The weight moved away

Psalm sixteen said it clearly
In Your presence there is joy
And I found that joy waiting
When I came before You, Lord

[Chorus]

In Your presence
I find joy
In Your presence
I find peace

At Your right hand
There are pleasures forever
And Your love is covering me

I don’t need another place
I don’t need another door
Just let me stay right here
In the presence of the Lord

[Verse 2]

I don’t want to rush this moment
I don’t want to move too fast
I’ve been running on empty
Trying to outrun my past

But Your glory met me gently
Didn’t shame me for my tears
You just wrapped me in mercy
And reminded me You’re near

Now my heart is getting quiet
And my soul can finally breathe
Everything I was carrying
Has to bow when You meet me

[Chorus]

In Your presence
I find joy
In Your presence
I find peace

At Your right hand
There are pleasures forever
And Your love is covering me

I don’t need another place
I don’t need another door
Just let me stay right here
In the presence of the Lord

[Bridge]

This is where I’m healed
This is where I’m changed
This is where my heart
Starts calling on Your name

This is where I bow
This is where I’m free
In Your holy presence
Lord, You cover me

[Vamp]

Let me stay here
Let me stay here
In Your presence, Lord

Let me stay here
Let me stay here
In Your presence, Lord

There is joy here
There is peace here
There is healing here
There is rest here

[Outro]

I don’t need noise tonight
I don’t need a crowd
I just need Your presence
To settle on me now
