Longing For Home -Psalm 84
Made for a home that's not our present home
the psalmist describes the loveliness of God's home
being made for God's glory indeed
filled with divine beauty in every ounce
The psalmist longs for the God of life
for He cares for the swallow and sparrow
all of God's creation He truly cares for
His love covers all it's never narrow
God sends His blessing on His own
even as they journey all the way home
focusing on their destination so blessed
they plod being renewed as they roam
In God's home, we find security and protection
favour and honour and abundant blessing
the Lord blesses those that trust Him
just like a bird-safe in its nesting
Jesus is the new temple the living stone
creating little stones where Christ does dwell
we come home to God in the life of Christ
so secure and safe to sweetly gel
So live humble lives of longing
living general lives of pilgrimage
to live holy lives of anticipation
showing Christian homefulness in our age
