THAT I BECOME YOUR RESTING PLACE *

I am here Lord

Inviting Your presence come.

My deepest longing beckoning

That in meeting we are one.

Allow my spirit open

That I become Your resting place

So Your glory shines

That I reflect Your amazing grace.

And that Your love flows through

My vessel where You live,

That I will be filled to overflowing

So Your living water I may give.

Fill my heart with Your presence

So wherever I may go

I will listen for Your voice

And Your love to others show.

Lord, allow Your presence to be known

When we meet throughout the day.

It is a most important matter

As I long to hear words You say.

But even when silence prevails

Amidst cacophony of worldly infection,

I will always be aware that my heart

Is Your ultimate destination.
