TEXT:

Your house is beautiful, Lord, I want to go there. I long to find Your house and live in it with You. Your house is wonderful, Lord, and those who go there are secure. And cared for as small birds in their nest. To live with You, what protection! To call the house where You live “my house.” Lord, Your house is full of peace. I would rather be with You for just one day, just one day, than anywhere. Lord, help me as I go to find You, climbing these steps that lead to Your house.
