The Praiseworthy Singer Vol. 15

Live By the Light of His Love
How Gentle God's Commands
Counsel With the Lord 
Master the Tempest Is Raging
To Feel His Presence There
Glory to God on High
Call Upon the Lord

To Feel His Presence There
Words and Music by Betsy Lee Bailey

Many moments I am blind to promptings I receive.
Mocking voices flood my mind to test what I believe.
Though trials and temptings come to steer me from my course,
And wand'ring, I may stumble and forget the one true power and source of inspiration,
Still the Savior beckons me with love beyond compare.
Forgiveness is the Lord's to give if we will seek to feel His presence there.

Humbly and repentantly, I kneel before the Lord.
Earnestly and fervently, I pray to be restored 
To all the blessings I require to guide me day by day
That I may be resourceful and may never tire of doing good and seeking virtue,
Still the Savior beckons me with love beyond compare.
Devotion to the Lord I offer as I seek to feel His presence there.


About the Song - We each need to feel the power of forgiveness every day of our lives.  I have made my share of mistakes and have had all too many shortcomings in my life.  Through humble repentance and asking forgiveness, I have felt the power of forgiveness and love from the Savior in my life.  This is a song about these feelings.

​Singers have told me that they like to sing this song for adult baptisms.
