Your presence surrounds me Gives me strength to carry on I raise my voice in glorification And bow my knees and praise I long, oh, Lord, for your Holy Spirit Come to me again, again and again I stand before the throne of God In awe in front of you You are my strength and my hope I praise thee Lord, oh, King of the North To you I come when dark clouds gather upon the nightly sky You listen and help me in the right hour Nothing need I fear, for you wander next to me in darkness And let your light shine upon my path of obscurity I need not fear when destruction comes I will laugh at destruction and famine I will know that my fort is secure I will come to the grave in full vigour For you, oh, Lord, are my strength and my hope You have ransomed me from death I have found my peace in you King of the North
