Tune: Old Hundredth
('All people that on earth do dwell')
*********
Psalm 26 v.8
LORD, I have loved the place wherein
You inhabit, you dwell therein
In your house, there your honour be
I will worship reverently
Psalm 27 v.1
The LORD, my light, my salvation
And too He be to each nation
Whom shall I fear, the LORD He is
The strength of my life, true is this
Psalm 27 v.4
One thing I have of Him desired
I will seek it and be inspired
'Tis to dwell in His house always
To see His beauty, pray, all days
Psalm 27 v.14
Wait on the LORD, good courage take
And He your heart He strong will make
Wait on Him, and His time shall show
His ways and workings you shall know
Psalm 28 v.7
The LORD He be my strength and shield
To Him alone I safely yield
My heart trusted in Him, and I
Am helped, I praise Him by and by
Psalm 28 v.9
Save your people, O LORD, and bless
Your inheritance, us, no less
Feed them and lift them up ever
You will leave, forsake them never

Good one Orchi.
Thanks Gold.
Oh goodness, So your lord now lives in a house does he hmmmm does he pay council tax.
Thanks dusk. lol. The Temple is sometimes called a 'house'.
Do the Temples have their bins collected etc and pay council tax?
I expect someone does the bins - servants, whether serving God or man, or both!
Ugh! Don't speak to me of money matters (e.g. council tax). One church I know never stops asking.
A beautiful poem Orchi!!
Thanks Jay.
