When I’m Standing in Your Presence
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When I'm standing in your presence for the first time
When the mysteries of this life are understood
When the questions I have here all fade from my mind
And you set my fears and doubts to rest for good
I will gaze into your glorious face at last
And I'll fall beneath the splendor of your smile
But there is still one question I will have to ask
Oh God, why is a wretch like me your child?
I'll never comprehend
Why you would condescend
To give your life for one so cold as mine
I'll never know why
And when I break the bread of heaven for the first time
When I'm seated at that long awaited feast
When I drink with men and angels from the new vine
And I see of all who gathered I'm the least
I will lift my cup to You, O Christ, my King
And I will praise You for the victories You have won
For Your death and life have bought me everything
And yet You look at me and say: Well done
So I'll never comprehend
Why you would condescend
To give your life for one so cold as mine
I'll never know why
My heart was chained down
My soul was feathered
The love we once shared
My sin had severed
I lay in ashes
Poor as a beggar
You should've left me
Lying there forever
Instead you reached out
You took my feathers
You spilled your blood out
Your flesh was severed
You gave me your crown
Became a beggar
And then you rose again
To give me life forever
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Hallelujah! I'm alive forever!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Oh, hallelujah! I'm alive forever!
I'll never comprehend
Why you would condescend
To give your life for one so cold as mine
I'll never know why
And when I'm standing in your presence for the first time
When the glory's greater than I ever dreamed
When my longings for this world are far from my mind
My ransomed soul will never cease to sing
No more a sinner, I have been redeemed
