PRESENCE OR PRESENTS?

God has promised us gifts it’s true

And blessing beyond measure

But ask yourselves this question

What is it that you treasure?

Would you rather walk with God

And feel Him close beside you

Or revel in the lap of luxury

Of as easy life with cares so few

Not saying you can’t have it all

For God’s love is abundant and not sparing

Just want to know where the higher

Value rates in all your caring

Yes, the blessings always bring us joy

And relief from daily pressure

But only your very presence, Lord

Will bring us joy beyond measure!

It’s you, Lord, leading, guiding, loving

That gives us everlasting pleasure

Your Presence, Lord, is forever

Our hearts desire and most precious treasure

Word from the Lord in a poem as given to Nancy Nunley 2/19/2018

Psalm 16:11 “You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.”
