Story Behind The Song
Kneeling quietly in prayer, I rose and the lyrics to this song dropped into my head. I quickly penned them. Next morning, I woke thinking of the musical style of a songwriter friend, Gary Oliver. I knew it had to be somehow for him. The music came. Later another friend called and asked, Have you heard about Gary's son? He was killed in a car accident and the funeral is today. I knew this song was for Gary and the Answer to that day's pain. ....Your Power moves me to take up the cross, to suffer the loss. Only His Presence can restore the devastated soul.

Chorus:
Your Presence restores my soul;
Your Presence restores my soul;
Your Spirit fills me;
Your Power moves me to take up the cross;
To suffer the loss;
Your Presence restores my soul;
Verse:
In green pastures I lay down and rest;
By still waters You lead me;
And if I look into the face of death
I won't fear;
Your rod and staff
They are with me
And they comfort me;
They comfort me
