A Palace For the King

Inspired by Psalm 132 and Psalm 125 My heart is like Jerusalem A palace for my King A place for righteousness to dwell A place where praises ring Until You found Your place in me I rested not my eyes You came that night and conquered me So take the victor’s prize Now come and take my everything My life, my heart, my best Your love has made a place–Arise Yehovah, to Your rest You chose to make Your home in me You washed me–made me clean You clothed me in Your righteousness I cannot help but sing With all the saints I shout for joy That I have been set free You set Messiah’s lamp in me It shines for all to see And as Mount Zion firmly stands My heart shall not be swayed For He will make me strong; in me His palace has been made As hills surround Jerusalem His love surrounds my heart For Yehovah will keep me safe From foe, or sword, or dart The King of all has chosen me! In me His Spirit dwells! And any time I think of this My heart with gladness swells
