There is a place at the altar for me
Always a place where He
waits to hear me sing ...
I have built my nest near
to His throne in the court
Bowing my heart to the King.
There is room at the altar for me ...
He whispers, "I see you" ... I feel complete
Holy welcomes simple sparrow
One who has found rest at His feet.
I wait at the altar with Him
He beckons, I listen, He speaks, Holy King ..
"While you wait at my altar, simple sparrow,
I will empower you with
strength of eagle's wings ..."
"And with faith you will rise to the mountains,
by faith you will navigate seas ...
You will soar above circumstance and affliction
and know you are accompanied by Me."
"Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for her young." Psalm 84:3
"Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows." Matthew 10:31
"But they who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall walk and not be weary, They shall run and not faint." Isaiah 40:31
hi cheri!
ReplyDeletewhat a lovely poem and blessed verses to accompany it.
i have an elderly friend, who still sings like an angel, who
sings that duet with me. "how lovely is Thy dwelling place"
has a line about the sparrow that always strikes a chord
in my heart.
blessings on your monday!
