Sinach - In Your Presence Lyrics
Lyrics
I have found a resting place
Where my heart belongs called home
O Jesus where You are
Where You are
A shelter from the rain
An anchor to my soul
O Jesus where You are
I belong
In your presence
That’s where I belong
All my mountains become small
As I see You as you are
In your presence where I belong
In your presence
That’s where I belong
All my mountains become small
As I see You as you are
In your presence where I belong

Meaning & Inspiration
Sinach's "In Your Presence," released as part of her album *Stand Amazed* in 2015, is a powerful testament to the transformative and overwhelming experience of encountering God. More than just a song, it’s an invitation to linger in the divine, to draw strength and solace from the palpable atmosphere of God's nearness. The core message resonates with the scriptural truth found in Psalm 16:11, which declares, "You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore." This verse encapsulates the very essence of what Sinach articulates: that in the sacred space of God's presence, life's deepest joys and enduring pleasures are found. The song speaks to a profound surrender, a willingness to be consumed by the Spirit, mirroring the biblical narrative of Moses' encounter with God on Mount Sinai where the glory of the Lord was so intense that Moses himself shone with a divine radiance (Exodus 34:29-35). Sinach's rendition encourages a similar posture of awe and reverence, emphasizing that it is in this very presence that burdens are lifted and spirits are renewed. This aligns with the promise in Matthew 11:28, "Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." The song doesn't just describe a feeling; it points to a source, a dwelling place where believers can find rest and be strengthened, much like David's cry in Psalm 27:4, "One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire in his temple." "In Your Presence" is a vibrant musical expression of this deep yearning and the beautiful reality that this dwelling is accessible through faith, offering a sanctuary where hearts can be mended and spirits can soar.
