The presence of the Lord is here,
The presence of the Lord is here,

I can feel the presence of the Lord, and I'm gonna get my blessing right now.
Bridge
Can't you see Him working on the outside?
I can feel Him moving on the inside.
So come and enter in and cast your cares on Him,
He'll open up a window and pour you out a blessing.
For when the Lord steps in, He brings everything you need: healing, power and victory. But its all up to you, whatever you need Him to do, just trust Him & believe and then by faith you will receive, I can!

Meaning & Inspiration
"The Presence of the Lord Is Here" opens with a simple, repeated sensory claim, feeling the Lord's presence in the atmosphere itself, before extending that same declaration to the Spirit and then to power in successive verses. That escalating repetition, presence, spirit, power, builds a cumulative description of an encounter rather than a single static statement.
Its hook shifts from description to instruction, calling for a trumpet, an alarm, and universal bowing because the Lord is described as present in the temple. That call to corporate response gives the earlier sensory claims a communal, active outworking rather than private feeling alone.
Rooted in Southern gospel choir tradition, the song functions as a call-and-response declaration of divine presence and blessing, its bridge naming healing, power, and victory as available responses to that presence, tying the entire structure to open, expectant reception rather than passive observation.
