Temple

My Temple is not made of brick, mortar and wood
My Temple is of flesh and blood

Can a temple of brick, mortar and wood
Praise and worship Me?

NO! ... But the temple of flesh and blood can!

You are a temple unto God!
Praise and worship with your very being!

You ... are ... the Temple ... of God!

Stand up!  Lift your voice ...
                                   (Sing Al-le-lu-ia)

Wave your hands ...
                                   (As flags of peace)

Move your feet in dance ...
                                  (As David danced)

in Praise and Worship to ME! ... 

Use what I have given you!
You ... are ... MY... Temple!

So let the praises to Your Lord sing out!

Lift your voice! ... raise your hands! ...
Move your feet! ... To praise Your Lord!
