Lift up your heads, ye mighty gates;
behold, the King of glory waits;
the King of kings is drawing near;
the Savior of the world is here!
Fling wide the portals of your heart;
make it a temple, set apart
from earthly use for heaven's employ,
adorned with prayer and love and joy.
Redeemer, come, with us abide;
our hearts to thee we open wide;
let us thy inner presence feel;
thy grace and love in us reveal.
Thy Holy Spirit lead us on
until our glorious goal is won;
eternal praise, eternal fame
be offered, Savior, to thy name!
It is a wonder of wonders, miracle of miracles, joy of joys that God has moved toward us and dwelt among us. How much more overwhelming that God inhabits the heart of every believer? Spend time today thanking God for His arrival into a specific time and place in our history, but also His arrival into your heart and life.
