Promise of his presence

Promise of his presence 

By Joel Howard 

“God will surely visit you”

Exodus 13:19

No accident 

No mistake 

No coincidence 

Not a fake 

God’s presence 

Came here

As a sign 

That it be clear

For his glory 

Joseph made 

Israel swear

Bones to take

“One day God will visit you”

And he did

Visit you too!

Oh the promise 

Of God’s presence 

The delight

And reassurance 

Feasting on

And reliant 

On his everlasting goodness!

How we stake our lives on Jesus!

No mistake

It is his goodness 

We await 

It is his kindness 

We await 

It is his mercy

At the gate

And we’re aware

Of your presence here

Holy King

We won’t despair 

For you promise 

To be here

Your promise

Will be there

And you will 

Lead us out to glory…

Your presence 

Is our story 

What we have

What we’re beholding 

Lead us out to glory!
