His presence alone invited a delicious return
In this quiet place where I begin to dwell
A once ugly place where I should have died
Is now so free from a selfish burning hell
And within my heart he has kindled a fire
Where once the curse of sin each day would lay
And today I become so truly mindful of the now
Yes of this privilege which in my life now stays
For the realm of which I am invited to share
Fills my spirit with it’s pure majestic beauty
Freeing a once unruly mind from being ensnared
By a heavenly love’s presence of generosity
And now I am blessed to have this opportunity
From which I will never again stumble away
For all I once was has been taken into captivity
By my sweet Lord’s spiritual transplant today.
