Surely The Presence Of The Lord Lyrics
Matthew 18: 20 For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them. "

Surely the presence of the Lord is in this place.
I can feel God's mighty power and God's grace.
I can hear the brush of angel's wings,
I see glory on each face.
Surely the presence of the Lord is in this place.

In the midst of His children
The Lord said He would be.
It doesn't take very many
It can be just two or three.
And I feel that same sweet spirit
That I felt oft times before.
Surely I can say
I've been with My Lord

Surely the presence of the Lord is in this place.
I can feel God's mighty power and God's grace.
I can hear the brush of angel's wings,
I see glory on each face.
Surely the presence of the Lord is in this place.

There's a holy hush around us,
As God's glory fills this place.
I've touched the hem of God's garment,
I can almost see God's face.
And my heart is over flowing
With the fullness of God's joy.
And I know, without a doubt,
That I've been with the Lord.

Surely the presence of the Lord is in this place.
I can feel God's mighty power and God's grace.
I can hear the brush of angel's wings,
I see glory on each face.
Surely the presence of the Lord is in this place

I was privileged to get to know Ricky as his Family Advocate at his children's preschool. Ricky was a face that the center seen often. He was a great father and showed it during various events and activities at the school. I He was a father that you can count on. Whatever our staff asked of Ricky he would do. Things like paperwork, doc appointments, activities, and volunteering are just a few things he was always up-to-date on. He touched a lot of lives with his personality. Head Start and me personally will miss seeing Ricky's smiling face. He was such a good and loving person and will be remembered through his children. God bless the Nickels family and may Ricky Rest In Peace!

The hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out.” (John 5:28, 29) This includes your dear loved one.  Remember the account at Luke 7:13?  It talks about a mother who had lost a child in death.  When Jesus caught sight of her, he was moved with pity, and said to her: "Stop weeping," for he knew that her child would be resurrected.  Please take comfort in this account as it provides  hope for those lost to us in death too.
