Where Can I Dwell? An Advent Poem

Where Can I Dwell?

Where can I dwell, LORD, how can I be near The One who shed His blood for me How can I access the gates that open And release His love, a flood over me

I forget that I cannot be kept away That the castle walls fell down When the broken heart of Christ Took on the Cross and thorny crown

Oh, that He endured what angels cannot even think That God's fullness dwelled in Him for peace And he departed from His Kingdom To dwell on earth with man, as least

His Majesty became mere man His Temple flesh and bones And when He conquered death and rose He gave me treasures in place of stones

Heaven cannot contain Him His love flows through my soul and swells All creation cries - the rocks cry out His name And inside my heart is where He dwells
