Shut out the world with all its distractions
All of its noise and empty attractions
And shut me in, Lord
To the presence of Your glory

Shut out my cares and all of my worries
All of my fears and all of my hurries
And shut me in, Lord
To the presence of Your glory

Only one thing is necessary
Only one thing is necessary
To sit at Your feet
To sit at Your feet
And gaze upon Your beauty

Shut out the lie that I can't come near You
You bought me with blood and taught me to fear You
So shut me in, Lord
To the presence of Your glory

For here in Your presence my soul is satisfied
Here in Your presence my soul finds all delight
Here in Your presence my soul is thirsting for You
Yes, I'm thirsting for You
