A Home With Him
I will dwell in the house of the Lord
I hope He is home
I hope He answers the door
I hope He doesn’t turn me away
Perhaps I can barrow some of His clothes of white
I packed light only bringing with me a little faith
And a suitcase full of sins
I hope He is home
I hope He answers the door
I hope He doesn’t turn me away
Perhaps I can barrow some of His clothes of white
I packed light only bringing with me a little faith
And a suitcase full of sins

Author's Note
I wrote this while listening to The Lord is My Shepherd by Nigel Short & Will Todd from their The Call of Wisdom album/CD & you can hear the song on youtube or iTunes. Maybe you will get a poem from it too.

Tempts me to respond - Come to Him as you are - the clothes He gives are everlasting and don't have to be given back.
Jesus said great things could happen even with faith "only as small as a mustard seed" (no pun about your user name intended).

True indeed! Thanks for your comment. Regarding the mustard seed, one of favorite quotes is, "Faith can move mountains, but bring a shovel because the Lord is only willing to meet you half-way." I will add an author's note regarding my inspiration for this poem. Cheers my friend!

I am a seed indeed, and the least at that, I would say I am a mustard seed. One of my favorite quotes is, "Faith can move mountains, but bring a shovel because the Lord is only willing to meet you halfway." : )

Thanks! I need all the help I can get. The apostle Paul only said that he was the chief sinner because he never met me. (I actually try hard to do right & pray often for forgiveness.) Peace & Blessings to you!
