Tent of Meeting

Pillar of fire in my heart-Pillar of cloud in my mind

Shekina light in my soul-Weight of glory strike me blind

So I may see no other light -No other glory but your own

Lord close my eyes so I can see-And make your glory known!

Come dwell richly on your throne-The ark that is my heart

Your temple's filled with radience-So with your light my life impart

A tabernacle for your grace A tent of meeting here

An intersection in time and space Where earth and heav'n cohere.

A place where I can taste and see Your goodness is outpoured

That I'll dwell richly and fully In the presence in and of the Lord

Oh to be that blessed place Where others come to dine

To feast upon my Lord in grace To drink the better wine

Your manifest presence is My manifest destiny

My purpose and my hope As I'm kept by my reason to be.

Immanuel abide in me Word of the Word reside richly

Lord of salvation- my all in all

Transcendent mystery- hear now the incarnate call!
