“And the house which I build is great: for great is our God above all gods. But who is able to build him an house, seeing the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain him? who am I then, that I should build him an house, save only to burn sacrifice before him?” 2 Chronicles 2:5-6

This house which stands is humble.
The outside is simple – neat.
It does not command attention,
It does not exalt wealth.
—-
Yet, this house has become a home,
Each inch dedicated to the Gospel.
Look inside with the eyes of a Saint,
Past the aging tapestries,
Past the dull, sparse paint.

This house glows in Gold,
From the essence of His Glory within.
It is laden with silver,
From the Light of the Son.
Every inch is warmed,
By the love of His children.
It is shielded and draped,
In the Armor of Righteousness.

This house which stands is humble.
The outside is simple – neat.
—-
But this home which we’ve built is great,
For it houses the Mighty Living God.
This God which cannot be contained,
Not by strength,
Not by boundaries,
Not by false sacrifice.
But which chooses to dwell,
In a sanctuary of praise,
Raised by the hearts of His own.
