All day long This world sucks it out But every morning In Your presence You pour life back in

Let Jesus be Lord Of the open doors That lead to Issac adventures Not Ishmael ones

Time in His Presence Drinking The Sap of the Vine Yields much fruit

Filled with Resurrection power He rose again In Him We have That resurrection power Making us alive

Morning comes Time with You Reconfigures me Reorientates Resets Re-envisions Re-empowers Removes The corrupting, straying, disassembling Of the world’s Influence and infiltration Since the last time We met

Through the day Pressures build Stresses multiply Becoming a giant balloon Ready to pop At any moment But one moment In Your presence Lets all the air out Sweet peace returns

When I breathe You in I live again

We eat and drink our way into abiding in Jesus. John 6:56

The more we give Him The more He wants He’s just jealous that way.

I love you, Jesus! Above all other loves!

Do, do, do Before we Soak, soak, soak Will lead to Burn, burn, burn Out

When you don’t Have the Tree of Life All that’s left is Knowledge

I appear before God Covered in His glory Naked But not ashamed Adam again

I sit here In Elijah’s cave Waiting For the Still small voice

Jesus Your Presence Surrounding Encasing Armor-plating me A Fortress Impervious to Guilt Despair Stress Emptiness

I swim As a fish In Your water Fly Like a bird In Your air You Are my Habitat

Jesus’ Presence The only zone Where there is Truly No judgment

Fears Stress Anxiety Hopelessness Diffuse and disappear As I re-cloak myself With You

Sitting here In His presence Eating and drinking Him In find myself Christ-covered Again The Father seeing Only the holiness, purity, and Perfection Of His Son And He is Well pleased!

Here In Your Presence A homeless heart Can find Food Clothing Rest
