HIS DWELLING PLACE

The dwelling place for God alone
is not in temples made of stone,
but in the hearts of everyone
made in the image of His Son.

Safeguard it’s threshold ,neatly swept
each chamber pure and cleanly kept,
a heart, that with each throb does raise
in ardour, glorias and praise.

The Lord our God is everything
and to His love wants all to cling,
then He will give to each His prize
for where He dwells is Paradise.

He wants to be each hearts sweet guest
fill with His love and tenderness,
so cleanse each heart of every sin
temples of gold, He’ll dwell within.
