Found by Travis Greene Lyrics
Verse 1
I’ve been quiet for way too long
I’ve decided this praise belongs to You
Oh my Lord
Cause today is the day You’ve made
I’ll rejoice and again I say it’s true
Oh my Lord
The enemy came to steal
But You gave me life, fullness of life
Won’t let him take – what he did not give
Chorus
I’m… getting my song back
I gotta reason to sing of Your goodness and
I’m…. taking my joy back
It is my strength and its found in the presence of God
Oh… all that I need is found in the presence of God
Verse 2
There’s a worship inside these bones
It is breaking out, getting out of control
Oh my Lord
The enemy came to steal
But You gave me life / fullness of life
Won’t let him take-what he did not give
Bridge
It’s good, really good, It feels good be here
Here in the presence
I’m free, really free, It feels good to be free
Here in the presence of God
Vamp
He’s never not empty-handed
Whatever you need he has it
More than you dare to ask or think-is
Found in the presence of God
Oh
All that I need is found in the presence of God
