Lyrics
In Our Midst From Matthew 28:20 Music by John Stallworth, Lyrics by Andrea Davis-Griffin 1. When I see you in our midst I remember your promise when you left, When I feel you all around, its like you said, “With you for all time”, In Our midst, you’re here now, but you’re still missed. 2. When I lose sight of You, Lord, I’m lonely and bored, no joy in my heart, I see suffering all around and wonder, ‘is it true?’, your kingdom found, Your kingdom is come, here now among, the Body broken…. You said, “Lo, I am with you until the end of time,” And “The truth is today, you’ll be with me in paradise…..” So I’m not afraid to die ‘cause I’ll be at home with you, For “If I am absent from the body, I’ll be present with you….” 3. When I hear your Word in my heart, I long to hear more, your reason and rhyme, When I can’t see you at all, I long to live in your light for all time, To be where you are, it’s better there by far, Oh, such bliss…….. © 2009 PrayerLifeMusic/ASCAP
