Right Where I Was
I didn’t go down
To that altar to pray.
I prayed in the pew,
But was touched
By God today.
He meets me
Right where I am,
Wanting, crying to
Be close to Him.
Feeling His power,
Feeling His love,
Feeling fellowship
From above
No, I didn’t go down
To that altar to pray,
But I felt His presence
In Church that day.

Sometimes we have an opportunity to go forward during a church service for the minister/pastor to prayer with us; and/or to share a public decision which we have made. But we don’t always do this because there are things only between God and us.
