You strengthen me
With the joy of the Lord
It is Your joy, oh Lord
You surround me
With Your shield of love
With Your great love, oh Lord
You are my strength and my shield
I will trust in You
Let me live in Your presence
For every day of my life
Oh, God, shine over me
For You are the sunrise
I want to know Your glory
And to love with all my heart
I want to know You, Lord
Please show me who You are
This is all I seek, all I’m asking for
Be near to me, Lord
You cover me
With Your righteousness
Your holiness, oh Lord
You rescue me
With Your strong right hand
I’m in Your hands, oh Lord
You are my light and my salvation
I delight in You
Let me live in Your presence
For every day of my life
Oh, God, shine over me
For You are the sunrise
I want to know Your glory
And to love with all my heart
I want to know You, Lord
Please show me who You are
This is all I seek, all I’m asking for
Be near to me, Lord
My heart has heard You say
“Come and talk with me.”
My heart cries out to You
“Lord, I am coming!”
Let me live in Your presence
For every day of my life
Oh, God, shine over me
For You are the sunrise
I want to know Your glory
And to love with all my heart
I want to know You, Lord
Please show me who You are
This is all I seek, all I’m asking for
Be near to me, Lord
