Painting the House of Prayer – v2


We are washed
by His blood
the outpouring of love,
His body given,
broken for us

Painting a house of prayer
not on the walls
the door frames
but on the lintels
of our hearts

Christ is within us
protecting us
by His blood,
His sacrifice,
upon the cross

The Spirit guards us,
safe from God’s wrath,
interceding for us
seated in a living house of prayer
in the courts of the Lord
