In His Sanctuary

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I sought Your sanctuary, Lord,

I searched both far and wide.

I wanted to be close enough

To stand right by Your side.

 

I sought for years that I might come

To find that splendid view

Where all the majesty and grace

Are reflections of You.

 

I sought so long, to no avail.

My heart broke with the pain

Of knowing what I sought was lost

And so it would remain.

 

I came to rest my weary heart

Where my journey began,

Beneath the mountain’s cloud washed peaks,

Upon the prairie’s span.

 

Lord, as I settled in this place

That saw my journey’s start,

I realized what I had sought

Was always in my heart.

 

The sanctuary of the Lord

Was always here with me.

The heart that loves and honors Him

Is where He’ll always be.

 

Psalm 96:6

Splendor and majesty are before him; strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
