Bethel

Lord I came today to Bethel and laid my head upon a stone

I came to be in your presence it was you and you alone

I came to hear a word from you to see you face to face

And oh how faithful you are my God, what a word was in this place

You promised me that you would bring me back into this promised land

And all my enemy's vices will be buried deep in the sand

I stand upon your word oh God your promises are yes and Amen

I’m not looking for your stuff my God I do not seek your hand

I need to hear a word from you to bring me back into this land

Lord I cannot go from here with nothing in my hand

I don’t want to leave with this emptiness inside

I know the pain that lies ahead and I don’t wish for it to be

I know that it must come to pass for you to set me free

Show but your face my God I need to see your face

To have a filling of your power and a shower of your grace.
