I have loved the Newsboys ever since I heard "Shine," way back in... 1997, was when I heard it first, although it's from their 1994 album, Going Public. I've been buying their albums regularly since then, because I love their upbeat, rocking style - and the lyrics, of course, honor and glorify God so well.
One of my favorites is Adoration, which is a wonderful worship collection. Unfortunately (for me), Adoration doesn't include "Presence," which I heard on KLOVE this morning on my way home from dropping the Munchkin at school. I mention it with Adoration because it lifted my spirit up into a few moments of real worship of my great God and Savior. When I found out it wasn't in my collection, I went right over to Amazon and bought it (love those $0.99 mp3 downloads!)
Here are the lyrics:
I lift up my voice
to The King, The King of glory
I hold out my hands
to The One who is worthy
I long for Your presence
I long, Lord, I need Your touch
CHORUS:
come, oh Lord, and fill up my life
with the light of Your presence
this is my heart's desire
oh Father, come and let Your spirit abide
I long for Your presence
this is my heart's desire
I long to be washed
in the well of Your mercy
I long to be warmed
by the fire of Your glory
I long for Your presence
I long for Your healing touch
CHORUS:
come oh Lord and fill up my life
with the light of Your presence
this is my heart's desire
oh Father, come and let Your spirit abide
I long for Your presence
this is my heart's desire
it's my desire
(I wanna feel Your
presence)
Lord, it's my desire
(I wanna feel Your presence)
Lord, You're my desire
(I wanna feel Your presence)
I wanna feel Your presence
I wanna feel Your presence
I wanna feel Your presence - Jesus
CHORUS:
come oh Lord and fill up my life
with the light of Your presence
this is my heart's desire (this is my heart's desire, oh...)
come and let Your spirit abide
I long for Your presence (presence...)
this is my heart's desire (this is my heart's desire, oh...)
come oh Lord and
fill up my life (fill up my life)
with the light of Your presence
this is my heart's desire (this is my heart's desire, oh...)
come and let Your spirit abide
I long for Your presence this is my heart's desire
it's my desire
Lord, You're my
desire
Lord, You're my desire
It is my desire to feel God's presence, to live in it and to reflect it. Come, O Lord, fill up my empty life with Your glory and love. Let Your Spirit live in me, to help me live my life for You and shine forth Your wonderful, saving love to all I meet.
