Today I found myself in a most unusual place
All at once I was standing face to face
With someone I knew so well yet that I had never seen
I was standing in the presence of the King

Standing in the presence of the King
The world just slips away beneath my feet
Mortal man could never write the song that my heart sings
While I'm standing in the presence of the King

Through His gates with thanksgiving
Into His courts with praise
With a joyous heart I begin to sing
For at last I am standing where He said that I could be
I am standing in the presence of The King

Standing in the presence of the King
The world just slips away beneath my feet
Mortal man could never write the song that my heart sings
While I'm standing in the presence of the King

Standing in the presence of the King
The world just slips away beneath my feet
Mortal man could never write the song that my heart sings
While I'm standing in the presence of the King
I'm standing in the presence of the King
The world just slips away beneath my feet
Mortal man could never write the song that my heart sings
While I'm standing in the presence of the King
While I'm standing in the presence of the King

Standing in the presence
Standing in the presence of the King
Standing in the presence
Standing in the presence of the King
