Sanctuary

When I come into
this house, I am at
once greeted by peace
and strength -- the
marks of an everlasting
kingdom -- and reminded
that I belong; why
I am here; why I
live and breathe.
The perfect balance
of rest and might
dwells in such contrast
to the world beyond
Your wings -- a world
void of health,
safety and purity.
It is here that
I find purpose.
It is here that I
feel the clean fire
of life and the
unmistakable love
of the Father,
King of my heart,
King forever.
