High above the ground
Where they can build a nest
God stands up a tree
For the birds to rest
Hidden in the hollow
Of a forests glen
Found a place of safety
Where fox can dig a den
Deep within the soul
Of safety and of rest
With a whispered prayer
With Jesus here, be blessed
Know it’s temporary
On this earth to roam
In everlasting love
God offers our true home
A temporary shelter
Indwelling with God, be
Home of the eternal
In love so heavenly
They asked, where do you live?
A answer of beauty
Jesus simply said
Why don’t you come and see
Listen for the calling
Let us be aware
Turn unto another
Let us find Him here
Let us ask the questions
Jesus who are You?
Let Him lead the way
His love through and through
Taking time to dwell
To be and be still
Wasting time with Jesus
His love for us to fill
A simple invitation
Just to come and be
Into our Gods home
Make His home in me
Jesus spoke to us
Wisdom of above
Beloved, “make yourselves
At home, in my love”
Our treasure of seeking
Love of which to yearn
A place to which we look
Forward to return
Joy within our sharing
A dwelling soaking through
A place to which, we
Welcome others into
Binding close to You
True comfort, find in thee
One of heavens grace
Place of eternity
Hope you’ll pause a moment
Glimpse tulips of new birth
Joy to appreciate
The beauty of this earth
Hope that you will notice
Spring birds that gather ‘round
Practice some compassion
With seed upon the ground
Hope you’ll catch a scent
From stove that will entice
Making of a family
One of self-sacrifice
Hope before your dinner
With Spirit in the air
Grateful for the blessing
To be gathered here
Hope when times are tough
Long for a place to be
You’ll say a little prayer
And find me guiding thee
Home of 60 years
Time now to let go
Prayer for owners new
Echoes that they’ll know
For a seed was planted
And grew a family strong
From the love of two
Many in the bond
In the depth of soul
May this song they hear
Love within these walls
Compassion in the air
Echoes of joys laughter
Self-sacrifice was shared
Many years of giving
Foundation of true prayer
For this home is priceless
Faith in promise true
That love endures forever
Still shines in seeds of You
