The Dwelling Place


You came to find no dwelling place

Made of wood or stone

You came to build a house of grace

That You would call Your home


Come dwell in us, in us abide

Live in our hearts while in You we hide

Come and stay and sup with us

You prepare a feast here in the dust


You are our dwelling place and we are yours

Oh living vine your life endures

You are in the Father and we are in You

This is the hope of the chosen few.


We are the holy habitat

Where your Spirit dwells

We are the tabernacle that

You Spirit comes and fills

Your Word is written on our heart 

And by Your Spirit is sealed

The mystery of Christ in us

Has come to be revealed


You make us vessels of mere clay

Where your glorious treasure is put on display

Christ in us, in this we trust

Be born in us we pray! Be born in us today!
