Indwelling

 

He opened the door and entered my heart

Removing the locks which kept us apart

He has made His home and in my heart resides

I'm one in whom His Spirit abides!

 

He is my life, my hope and my breath

When I live to him, When I die His death

I'm no longer rebelling, He's constraining, compelling

Now the Lord is indwelling me- he moved me beyond my limited faith

To where his power I can appropriate

For He is my passion and my one desire

Where he warms my heart with His holy fire!

 

a new vision of life is conforming me

To the indwelling christ inside of me

Possessed by the spirit my owner, ruler, Lord

God has written on my heart His holy word!

 

He is my life, my hope and my breath

When I live to him, When I die His death

I'm no longer rebelling, He's constraining, compelling

Now the Lord is indwelling me- he moved me beyond my limited faith

To where his power I can appropriate

For He is my passion and my one desire

Where he warms my heart with His holy fire!
