Tua Presença

Your presence, is what I desire the most Lord
Your presence, is what I seek Lord
Your presence is what I need Lord
Your presence

I don't want to be like the lepers
Who receive the miracle and leave
Like someone who welcomes you home but doesn't adore you
Doesn't care and doesn't make an effort to please you
I don't want to be a priest in the temple
Who doesn't listen to you
Or even Judas who is by your side but his heart is far away
Who negotiates trust, intimacy, and communion

What good is it to be like Saul
Applauded by honorable men
But hear from God Himself saying: You have been rejected
To be honored is to have the certainty that you are by my side
My God, my God, I couldn't bear Your indifference
Of all I've learned in life, I'm sure
I can live without many things, but never without Your presence!

I want to be here and feel You
Talk to You and listen to You
Have the joy of hearing Your voice my God
Saying that I am Yours, that You delight in me

I never want to grow too much
To the point of wanting to walk alone
I want to hold Your hands very tightly
My heart chooses to be with You
I don't want to achieve my independence
But I want to be like a child that You nurture
Because of all I want
What I want the most is Your presence!

Your presence, is what I desire the most Lord
Your presence, is what I seek Lord
Your presence is what I need Lord
Your presence

Because of all I want
What I want the most is Your presence!
