Ben Ward
We’re dry inside these walls of pride
Without You we’re empty
We’re thirsty from our vain pursuits
We long to drink of You
The weight of our sin presses down upon us
Driving us to our knees
We call out to You our God, Redeemer
Blessed is He who brings us peace
Stand up among us
Make Your presence known
Rise up within us
Set Your people free
In Your presence is where we need to be
To the fatherless be a Father, Lord
Show Your compassion
To the prisoner and the captive
Bring Your release
To those who cry out for Your mercy
That always seems out of reach
Holy Spirit come in power
Ignite our passion to believe
Stand up among us
Make Your presence known
Rise up within us
Set Your people free
In Your presence is where we want to be
The Lord is gracious and full of compassion
Slow to anger, rich in love
That’s what we need more of
Stand up among us
Make Your presence known
Rise up within us
Set Your people free
In Your presence is where we’re going to be
In Your presence is where I will be
