The Lord Is My Light And Salvation
- The Lord is my light and salvation;
Whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the strength of my life;
Of whom shall I be afraid?
- One thing have I desired of the Lord,
That will I seek;
That I may dwell in the house of the Lord
All the days of my life,
To behold the beauty of the Lord,
And to inquire in His temple.
- Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice;
Have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
When thou saidst, seek ye my face;
My heart said unto thee,
Thy face, O Lord, will I seek.
- Wait on the Lord;
Be of good courage,
And He shall strengthen thine heart;
Wait, I say on the Lord.
Wait, I say on the Lord.

in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.

therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea,
I will sing praises unto the Lord.

The House The Lord Built
No longer do you have to roam
Come rest here next to me
I’ll tell you of a sacred home
Luminous- with perpetual shine
Built by master carpenter
With tender hands divine.
There is one door to enter through
One door only … pure and true
We are all children in this place
Brought in by love
And saved by grace.
Bread and wine you’ll always find
Blessed tables and gold chairs
Music playing
Family praying
And angels on the stairs.
Jesus lit this house with light
He is the lamp that burns so bright
Jesus touched our heart with song
That fills the air all the day long.
Come closer friend and look around
To know this Home's on sacred ground
To Jesus, our Saviour
we'll always cleave
The home He built ...
we'll receive
and we never,
ever have to
leave.

For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle
were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not
made with hands, eternal in the heavens. For in this we groan,
earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with
our house which is from heaven:
2 Corinthians 5:1-2
Jesus told us the following : In my Father's house are many mansions:
if it were not so, I would have told you.
I go to prepare a place for you. John 14:2
We can always trust and believe in His Word.
