My heart is Your dwelling,
Come abide with me;
Fill me with Your Spirit,
I am Yours eternally.

Fashion this dwelling,
My Lord, as You see fit;
The center is the Throne
Upon which You shall sit.



Lay a foundation of humility,
Erect the beams of trust;
Rid my heart of worries,
From the cobwebs and the rust.

Open the windows
To Your eternal truth and light;
Grant that it is brilliant
Dawn of day or dark of night.



Warm this dwelling
With the fire of Your love;
Decorate it with virtues,
Shining treasures from above.

May Your peace reign
In the waterfalls that flow;
May Your joy abide
In the flowers as they grow.



How I love You, Lord,
Transform me to fit Your desire;
My heart is Your dwelling,
Your flame of love its fire.

Yea, my heart is Your dwelling,
Forever abide with me;
Fill me with Your Spirit,
I am Yours eternally.
