"Happy in the Presence"
by Bernard Sexton
Refrain: Happy in the presence of the Lord,
We come and sing our praise to Lord Jesus.
Happy in the presence of the Lord,
We come and sing our praise to Lord of all.
Verse 1: Come and share the bread of life.
Bread that will feed us, help and protect us.
Come and share the stories of old,
Stories of Jesus, his work and his world.
Refrain: Happy in the presence of the Lord,
We come and sing our praise to Lord Jesus.
Happy in the presence of the Lord,
We come and sing our praise to Lord of all.
Verse 2: Come and share the memories we’ve had,
Happy days, sad days, days full of joy.
Come to tell the Lord that we love
We live the life he told us to live.
Refrain: Happy in the presence of the Lord,
We come and sing our praise to Lord Jesus.
Happy in the presence of the Lord,
We come and sing our praise to Lord of all.
We come and sing our praise to Lord of all.
