My Heart Is a Holy Place My heart is a holy place Wiser and holier than I know it to be Wiser than my lips can speak A spring of mystery and grace. You have created my heart And have filled it with things of wonder. You have sculpted it, shaped it with your hands Touched it with your breath. In its own season it reveals itself to me. It shows me rivers of gold Flowing in elegance And hidden paths of infinite beauty. You touch me with your stillness as I await its time. You have made it a dwelling place of richness and intricacies Of wisdom beyond my understanding Of grace and mysteries, from your hands. ↗
