I want to be forever Yours
My home, my house, one You adore
A lineage that fulfills all Your creeds
And is set towards those in need
I want You to build a house that’s true
That serves, dedicates, and worships You
A house that aspires to do what’s right
And seeks Your face day and night
I want a castle that Yours alone
Where in its halls and rooms, You roam
To decide what is next, You will bring to pass
And considers my knowing, not at the last
I want to forever belong to You
And serve You, My God, because it’s true
You Are My Lord
A house of God is a house of faith and worship. In order to build up and strengthen a house, we must look towards God. To serve the Lord better, not only are we sons and daughters of God, but we have to act as instruments to do His good works and make a difference in His name and glory. Therefore, we must exercise our power. The grace of God is to make us work and to gain and receive His blessings. Ephesians 2:19 states:
“So then, you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the cornerstone, in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. In Him, you are also being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit.”
In result, we are a living temple because God’s breath is inside us. The proper time when we feel that we are being uplifted is not through ourselves wholly, but through God. In the midst of commotion, there will be a promotion. God is the carpenter, contractor, and the architect of our hopes and dreams because seeking Him more will only solidify us as His soldiers.
May God Bless You All.
