Verse 1: In the land of Haran, Abram dwelt for three years A place of pasture and plenty, where his heart could clear The Lord appeared to him, with a promise so grand To give him the land of Canaan, and make him a great nation's hand Chorus: In the presence of the Lord, we find our peace A place where love and joy, our hearts can release In His presence, we abide, where our souls take flight In the presence of the Lord, we shine with His light Verse 2: The Lord said, Arise, take thy wife and all belonging to thee And go to the land of Canaan, where He would be thy God, and bless thee Abram obeyed the Lord, and went to the promised land Where he pitched his tent, and dwelt in the plain of Mamre's hand Chorus: In the presence of the Lord, we find our peace A place where love and joy, our hearts can release In His presence, we abide, where our souls take flight In the presence of the Lord, we shine with His light Bridge: And when the Lord appeared to Abram, He said, I am the Lord Who brought him out from Ur Casdim, to give him the land of Canaan's store And Abram built an altar, to call upon the Lord's name And brought up sacrifices, to honor His holy fame Chorus: In the presence of the Lord, we find our peace A place where love and joy, our hearts can release In His presence, we abide, where our souls take flight In the presence of the Lord, we shine with His light
