I Exult in Your Embrace

We Exult in Your Embrace

 

Into your glorious presence we would enter in to stay

There to abide forever- do not send us away

Freedom to enter in your blood has bought

The treasure for whichÝ men of old have sought

Now is ours for we are yours with in this privileged place.

 

In your glorious presence we would ëere abide

We would feast at your table as in the rock we hide

Now there is No wall of shame

There is no barrier of blame

In your Holy of Holies where we enter as your bride.

 

Possess your possession, Inhabit our praise

Dwell in this temple as we exult in your embrace

Possess your possession, Inhabit our praise

Dwell in this temple as we exult in your embrace

 

So this is the picture and this is the proof

The intimate rapturous glorious truth

Here in your presence we may remain

Here where our every loss is a gain

Here where our peace and our rest we attain!

 

Though we walk in this world let us ever remain

With you we grow in grace through the time and the pain

So you are there with us as we live in You

Inhabiting all of the things that we do.

Here the knowledge and power of your presence is plain

 

Possess your possession, Inhabit our praise

Dwell in this temple we exult in your embrace

Possess your possession, Inhabit our praise

Dwell in this temple we exult in your embrace
