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!
