​King David wrote that the one thing he wanted more than anything else in this world was to dwell in God’s presence all the days of his life and to gaze upon His beauty.   All throughout Psalm 27, David recounts many things he experienced in God’s presence:  freedom from fear, safety, hope, courage, and joy, to name a few.

I wrote the song “Your Presence” out of a similar yearning that David expressed in this Psalm. I have found that no matter what I am feeling or experiencing in life, if I get quiet in God’s presence and listen for His voice, I will start to see things from His perspective and it changes mine. 
​
No matter the situation, seeing it from God's perspective and experiencing His presence in the midst of it, brings change in our hearts, our attitudes, our physical conditions and our circumstances. God's presence changes everything.
 
Lyrics to "Your Presence" by Marlowe Carruth

Your presence Lord, is the most important thing.
Your heartbeat Lord, is the song I want to sing.
To see Your face, as I look into Your gaze,
To hear Your voice, as I rest in Your embrace.
 
Your presence Lord, is the most important thing.
Your heartbeat Lord, is the love I want to bring.
Your beauty Lord, I want others to behold.
Your goodness Lord, I don’t want to go untold.
 
God, You are good, and Your presence is real.
God, You are good, and Your presence will heal.
 
Your presence Lord, is the most important thing.
Your presence Lord, changes everything.
