I Believe

I Believe

You are here, with me, within me,
Your indwelling Spirit alive,
For the life of me.

You give Your Holy Life to my soul.
Raising nature above the world
To breathe with Your Spirit.

I am in You, for You.
I am Yours.
May Your Heart ever hold me fast.

In This Your Temple

In This Your Temple

Settle upon me, Lord, my Savior.
Here in this temple, ever be,
In me, about me, ever near,
More and more dear.

My Refuge, receive me,
Hide me in abandonment,
Cover me with Your mantle,
Growing Your Life in me.
