“Lord, … Let the light of your radiant face break through and shine upon us! The intense pleasure you give me surpasses the gladness of harvest time, even more than when the harvesters gaze upon their ripened grain and when their new wine overflows.” Psalms 4:6b-7 TPT
When a farmer sees his field
Of ripened grain
There is joy in his heart
That from the earth and rain
A fine crop has grown
A harvest of gain
But when the light of Your face Lord
Shines upon me
The joy that fills my heart
Is a greater thing in deed
The power of Your Presence
Your love, Your peace, Your joy
The sweet beauty of Your essence
Is all I need and so much more
When the vintner sees his vats
Overflowing with new wine
There is joy in his heart
That from the earth and rain
A fine crop has grown
And a fine wine is made
But when the light of Your face Lord
Shines upon me
The joy that fills my heart
Is a greater thing in deed
The power of Your Presence
Your love, Your peace, Your joy
The sweet beauty of Your essence
Is all I need and so much more
When a builder has built
A beautiful new home
There is joy in his heart
That his creation is done
And people will be blessed
By making it their home
But when the light of Your face Lord
Shines upon me
The joy that fills my heart
Is a greater thing in deed
The power of Your Presence
Your love, Your peace, Your joy
The sweet beauty of Your essence
Is all I need and so much more
When a composer has written
A song that’s full of joy
He knows the people who listen
Will be embraced and rejoice
And his heart is full of happiness
To share joys embrace
But when the light of Your face Lord
Shines upon me
The joy that fills my heart
Is a greater thing in deed
The power of Your Presence
Your love, Your peace, Your joy
The sweet beauty of Your essence
Is all I need and so much more
When artist paints a picture
Full of light and love and laughter
It will become a treasure
And be received with pleasure
By those who come to see
A piece of beauty for ever
But when the light of Your face Lord
Shines upon me
The joy that fills my heart
Is a greater thing in deed
The power of Your Presence
Your love, Your peace, Your joy
The sweet beauty of Your essence
Is all I need and so much more
