Eu Tenho a Presença

Oh Lord, if You don't go with me
Don't make me leave this place
If You don't go with me
I don't want to go on
Your presence is more important
It makes all the difference in me

If You don't go with me
I will surely fail
If You don't go with me
I will certainly die
I am that dependent child
So dependent

But I know I don't deserve Your concern
I failed too much, I wronged too much with You
So much that sometimes I feel lost
Wondering if I still have a friend
Oh God, You're the only one I need, oh

Better than arriving, better than reaching
Much better than winning, even living
Is knowing that I have Your presence
Is knowing that I have Your presence
Better than riches, better than friends
Much better than everything, everything, everything I need
Is knowing that I have Your presence
Is knowing that I have Your presence
Your presence makes the difference

(Can you raise your hand to the sky and praise the name of Jesus now?)

But I know I don't deserve Your concern
I failed too much, I wronged too much with You
So much that sometimes I feel lost
Wondering if I still have a friend
Oh God, You're the only one I need, oh

Better than arriving, better than reaching
Much better than winning, even living
Is knowing that I have Your presence
Is knowing that I have Your presence
Better than riches, better than friends
Much better than everything, everything, everything I need
Is knowing that I have Your presence
Is knowing that I have Your presence
Your presence makes the difference, oh

I want to walk side by side, Father, until we're one
Exuding the fragrance that is pleasing to You
When everyone sees me, may they see
The shine of Your presence glowing on my face

I want to be the child with a pure heart
Shielded from all vanity and the world
I don't want to be corrupted by vain things
Lord, protect my heart
Your presence is worth more than gold and bread

(Hmm, better than arriving, sing with me)

Better than arriving, better than reaching
Much better than winning, even living
Is knowing that I have Your presence (sing it)
Is knowing (that I have Your presence)
Better than riches, better than friends
Much better than everything, everything, everything I need
Is knowing that I have Your presence
Is knowing that I have Your presence
Your presence makes the difference, oh
Your presence makes the difference
