Heavenly Abode
There is a place called heaven
where my heart is always yearning
where my soul seems to be churning
with the longing for this dwelling,
this home where Jesus is the anchor
the One to bring hearts and souls
into the center of His world – this
heavenly abode is the answer to my
worries, my struggles and my prayers
This heavenly home is the answer
to all my doubts and insecurities
It fills my heart with compassion,
erases the distrust, the suspicion
with assurance that His love will lift
each heart to its place in His presence
where only the children of God, His Father
will know what it is to be sheltered
from the sadness, the pain, the desperation
all the despair that comes from the darkness
brought to life inside hearts who don’t know
the One who makes a way where there is no way
the One who makes this day feel like light
being poured out on the dead of night
This home where Jesus is the love
who delights in freeing His children from hurt
it is this place that makes life worthwhile
it is this place that brings joy to the smile
it is this place that whispers light to the sigh
This home where Jesus is the host
brings insight into the compassion, the hope
brings faith into the heart who needs His love
brings kindness to the soul who knows He is…
~ the Prince of Peace, the King of Kings –
the wisdom, the grace, the mercy and the way
to know what it is to feel truly saved –
by the grace of God, the compassion of hope
the wonder of a prayer – repenting of sin
bringing to light – the conviction, the gift
the joy of knowing that love lingers within
the soul who believes in Him, the One who is
EVERYTHING that means – love is alive
abiding inside the soul who knows Him as
guide, example, expression of God’s grace
brought to life in this place – heaven – home
to those who know that … GOD IS LOVE!!!
