My Portion, My Peace

Lyrics

Verse 1
David longed for Your presence, more than crown or throne,
One thing he asked of You: to make Your beauty known.
Not palaces or armies, not riches here below,
But to dwell within Your house, and Your glory ever show.

Chorus
You are my portion, You are my peace,
Not my prayers but Your cross brings me near.
You are my portion, You are my peace,
Christ has done it all — my portion, my peace.

Verse 2
Mary sat at Your feet, while Martha strove in care,
You said the one thing needed was simply resting there.
No striving could be better, no service more complete,
Than to hear the words of life flowing from Your mercy seat.

Chorus
You are my portion, You are my peace,
Not my prayers but Your cross brings me near.
You are my portion, You are my peace,
Christ has done it all — my portion, my peace.

Verse 3
Now the veil has been opened, through Jesus’ blood we come,
The Lamb has borne our judgment, the work of God is done.
No temple walls can hold us, no fear can bar the way,
For the risen Christ has won, and His presence is our stay.

Chorus
You are my portion, You are my peace,
Not my prayers but Your cross brings me near.
You are my portion, You are my peace,
Christ has done it all — my portion, my peace.
