In the presence of the Lord Lyrics

It was hot down in that hollow

On his land we were planting crops

He was in his eighty's then, had a little trouble when he walked.

I didn't mind slowing down as we talked row by row

He told me about his family and Jesus

How we'd reap what we'd sown

He said one day I'll be in Heaven

Walking those streets of purist gold

I'll find a bench down by that river

Where I hear the peaceful waters flow.

There'll be no pain or sorrows there

I'll grow old no more

I'll be young forever living in the presence of our Lord.

Time has a way of moving on

All things come to an end

I wasn't ready for him to go

I'm surely gonna miss my friend

I went to see him a few days before he died

He grabbed my hand said I Love you boy. When you get to that other side

We'll be there in Heaven walking streets of purist gold.

We'll find a bench down by that river where I hear the peaceful waters flow

There'll be no pain or sorrows there

And we'll grow old no more.

We'll be young forever living in the presence of our Lord.

We'll be young forever living in the presence of our Lord.
