The Sanctuary Within
He said “build me a tabernacle with an offering of gold”,
This will be for my sanctuary so that all things go well,
He said “bring me an offering of the finest blue yarn”,
So I can rest with you eternally and dwell.
The tabernacle is the gold spirit that lies within,
The sanctuary is the purity of the most devoted heart,
Along with eternity of love of God comes searing pain,
The fine blue thread is the tears that play a part.
For Rick Praise's "Blue and Gold" Contest
Based on the verses in Exodus of building a sanctuary for God to rest in. I believe today the sanctuary for God to rest in is YOU. A place to put Holy Spirit.
