Dwell

Deuteronomy 7:6 — For you are a people holy to the Lord your God. The Lord your God has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his people, his treasured possession.

The Lord is my treasure

and He treasures me.

The Lord is my protector

and He protects me.

The Lord is my joy

and He rejoices in me.

Strip away all that I have, O Lord,

all that I am

and all that I will be

if it gives me more of You.

The joy of my heart

is the loss of myself.

The fruits of my spirit

are the seeds of Your truth.

I have no rest,

no life,

no joy and no peace

apart from You, O God -

it is a wonderful thing.

I have no purpose,

no strength,

no love and no wisdom

without You, my King -

it is a glorious thing.

Dwell in me, Lord of creation,

mighty God;

I rejoice that You dwell in me.

Amen.
