Seek God's Presence | If Your Presence Does Not Go (Christian Song 2026)

If Your Presence Do Not Go | New Year Worship Song 2026

As we stand at the threshold of a new year, our prayer is the same as Moses in the wilderness: "Lord, if You don't go with us, we don't want to move."

This new worship song for 2026 is a cry of total surrender. In a world that is constantly rushing forward, this is an invitation to pause, wait, and declare our dependence on God. Whether you are facing a wilderness season or a new beginning, let this song be your prayer that God’s presence would lead every step of your journey.

Inspired by Exodus 33:15, this song is for anyone who values God's presence above progress, success, or plans.

📖 The Scripture: "Then he said to Him, ‘If Your Presence does not go with us, do not bring us up from here.’" — Exodus 33:15

🎵 Lyrics:

“If You Do Not Go With Me”

Verse 1
Lord, here I stand at the edge of my way,
With plans in my hands, but fear in my heart.
I know I can move, I know I can run,
But without You, Lord, I would rather not start.

Pre-Chorus
I’ve seen Your works, I’ve heard Your name,
But more than blessings, I need You near.

Chorus
If You do not go with me,
Do not lead me on from here.
If Your presence doesn’t guide my steps,
I don’t want the road ahead.
More than promise, more than victory,
More than all I hope to see—
If You do not go with me,
I will wait here, Lord, with Thee.

Verse 2
What is a land if You’re not there?
What is a dream if You don’t stay?
Better the desert with Your voice,
Than a throne without Your way.

Pre-Chorus
The world may move, the crowds may run,
But I will stay where You are found.

Chorus
If You do not go with me,
Do not lead me on from here.
If Your presence doesn’t guard my heart,
I don’t want the road ahead.
More than favor, more than peace,
More than answered prayers I seek
If You do not go with me,
I will wait here at Your feet.

Bridge (Prayer section)
Go before me, walk beside me,
Dwell within me, Spirit stay.
Let Your glory mark my journey,
Be my rest along the way.
Not an angel, not a sign—
Lord, I ask for You, not less.

Soft Chorus / Outro
So if You go, I’ll follow You,
If You stay, I’ll stay the same.
My greatest destination, Lord,
Is walking with You all the way.
If You do not go with me…
I will not move from here.

🙏 Prayer for 2026: Lord, as I enter this New Year, I surrender my plans to You. I do not ask for an easy path, but I ask for Your presence. Lead me, guide me, and never let me take a step without You. Amen.
