The presence of the Lord is in this place
I am surrounded by his love and grace
I feel that I am in a sacred space
Cos’ the nearest to heaven that I can be
Is knowing God is here with me
And praising in the presence of the Lord
Verse 2
The presence of the Lord is all around
I feel that where I stand is holy ground
I never want to leave this place I’ve found
Cos’ the nearest to heaven that I can be
Is knowing God is here with me
And praising in the presence of the Lord
Chorus
Sing Hallelujah praise his name
I shall never be the same
I live on earth but my home’s in heaven
I love the presence of the Lord
Verse 3
The presence of the Lord is here today
I never want this joy to go away
Close by your side is where I want to stay
Cos’ the nearest to heaven that I can be
Is knowing God is here with me
And praising in the presence of the Lord
