Presence 7: Arts That Inspire Reflection & PrayerExemplo
Home
Where my heart and mind are at rest
When I can stop
Not always chasing but remaining
Filled with fullness, satisfied longings
Contented, safe, stilled
No pretence, no faking
I can just be me
Far from the reach of fear
Safety enfolding, held in arms of strength
My greatest defence
When life keeps on changing
Taking me by surprise
Pulls the rug from under my feet
Draws the curtain over my eyes
Knocks the wind out of my sails
Stealing my breathe
Keeping me running, no rest.
Sometimes Shaken to the core
feeling raw, exposed, heartsore
When I need love to last
Love that is deep
Only your love is this love for me.
It feels like home
The safest place I know
My safest territory.
You keep me
You show me I belong
No more leaving
But staying, moving in
No longer visiting
but inhabiting
permanent living
And Hesitation to believe this
That your love is enough
Leaves me in a mess
Because It's when I leave
Im in a mess
Fear fuels the running
But love keeps me coming
closer to you
the more I know
How far you would go
to bring me home
The fewer journeys I make
Moving away
Because Every other house has let me down,
fallen down
Built on sand,
Nothing standing the test
But you are built to last
till the end for eternity
When earth fades
only heavenly things will remain
So I make my home in the eternal
As you make my your home in me
Before I've chosen you
You've already chosen me
Already pitched your tent
Taken up residence
Paving the way
Showing me what it means to stay
You never leave
Staying because you want to
Not out of duty or because you have to
making my heart your home
Now Im making your heart my own
You are my home
